well ... then some other variables might be in the wrong state.
i've tried putting the single sided 128M sdram stick in all of the _4_ 
sockets but none of them seems to work.

i wonder if there is any quick way to get it going for only that very ram 
stick ... like booting up with the original bios and then read the values 
of all the config registers?
is that possible? and if yes: do you have some tiny program handy wich 
would do that job? :)


one other thing: i noticed that there are to different versions of that 
crt0.S ... one which i would get by running the config script and one 
sitting in the mainboard subdir. which one is better to get started with?
at least the autogenerated code doesn't have the ramtest stuff included ... 
so after doing some first tests i switched over to the mainboard specific 
source file.

i'm glad to hear that someone is working on that sdram autoconfig code.
that's good for the long run. but for now i would like to get it up the 
'quick and dirty' way ;-)
