well, that's just what i meant.
i have a ss10 with a dual 125mhz hypersparc and 160mb memory. depending on
the amount of mem i install, the system works fine or works somewhat or
works not at all. if it does not work at all, it hangs after the kernel
started init...
and i've never seen any error message - it just stops working.

well, i had the case the system started but had random moments it was
blocked for some seconds. that was between about 90MB and 144MB memory ;)
