That's pretty old ... try a more recent kernel.

It used to be supported. You will have to make sure that the bigger RAM
chunk
is in bank 1 (if the internal video on these RBV machines is used, the
kernel
has to load in bank 1 because bank 0 is used as video RAM). Please have the
booter log information about system config and bootinfo to a file and post
that log.

Might be just the 'some graphics cards will hang with X in 2.0' bug.
Reported
by many users, but no one could give useful details. I'll need to know
- Is the kernel still running (i.e. login via serial lines, ethernet etc.
survive)
- If the kernel panics, the oops log (debug messages directed to serial
interface)
- If the kernel still runs, a stack trace from running the X server under
control
of gdb.
Without that, I can't say more than 'oops, something just crashed'. You
probably
guessed that anyway.
