Maybe a broken RAM controller, i.e. the content of the initrd
"disappears" after it has been loaded. Someone just reported that a
Firmware/BIOS update on his computer solved a similar problem. It may
also be possible to use the mem= boot option, as described in
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt:

        mem=exactmap    [KNL,BOOT,IA-32] enable setting of an exact
                        e820 memory map, as specified by the user.
                        Such mem=exactmap lines can be constructed
                        based on BIOS output or other requirements.

        mem=nn[KMG]     [KNL,BOOT] force use of a specific amount of
                        memory; to be used when the kernel is not able
                        to see the whole system memory or for test.

        mem=nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]
                        [KNL,BOOT] Force usage of a specific region of
                        memory
                        Region of memory to be used, from ss to ss+nn.

        mem=nn[KMG]#ss[KMG]
                        [KNL,BOOT,ACPI] Mark specific memory as ACPI
                        data.
                        Region of memory to be used, from ss to ss+nn.

        mem=nn[KMG]$ss[KMG]
                        [KNL,BOOT,ACPI] Mark specific memory as
                        reserved.
                        Region of memory to be used, from ss to ss+nn.
