If you want to guinea pig it for me, there's a patch to the
memory detect code at http://www.pell.chi.il.us/~orc/Memory
{new.new.mem-2.2.1 or somesuch}; I'm in the throes of
testing that it works with all the systems I have, and will
build up a system that's capable of compiling 2.2.x soon so I can
release a patch for Linus to integrate.
