Hi Markus
If the machine is not booting up due to lack of RAM, then you will
definitely get a kernel panic message.
To find out the hardware specs of your Qube, you'll have a specific set of
commands which you can issue after getting into the BIOS, depending on
whether it is a Qube 1/2 or a Qube 3. You can find these in the manual for
the model in question.

HTH.
