Absolutely - if your memory is hosed, this will be the first place that you'll run afowl of it, especially when it comes to the top of memory. Because whats happening at this point is that LinuxBIOS is copying some part of itself to the top of memory to make room for the payload. If your memory map is wierd, then this will easily be the first place where it will be exposed.
