That customer actually called back.  He had messed with the
configuration and gotten it so torqued, that he decided to reinstall.
So I tried the mem= option.  It didn't not work.  I do not know exactly
which mobo he had.

It would not boot.  It hung at various points during rc.sysinit.  It
occassionally made it as far as mounting swap.

I didn't help him beyond getting it to boot.
