That second erroneous message is a Linux message, not LinuxBIOS.  That's
actually linux running at that point. It seems to me that linux is somehow
totally confused about the amount of memory.

Have you tried just passing mem=192m in the command line to see if this
helps. Your symptoms are very much what I've seen happen when Linux thinks
there is more memory than there actually is.

can you remind me once again what chipset/mainboard this is, I am
currently juggling a lot of requests along this line.

Just put the following at the head of the message:
mainboard-name/chipset/linux version
