7 It does get past GRUB.  When it goes to load the image off the drive it
8 chokes. 
9
10 I cannot get past 31GB what so ever.  When I load it up to 32GB or
11 more, I get this problem, and when I drop back down to 31GB all is fine.
12
13 I have memory testing/burn-in equipment, which says all of the DIMMs'
14 are in perfect working order.
15
16 It reboots so fast, that I'm not aware of a way to snag the dump before
17 it reboots.  Any suggestions?

I am having a problem putting 32GB or more of RAM into my system with
41 Gentoo.
42
43 I can install Gentoo (2005.1 r1) perfectly fine even on 30GB or lower,
44 once I get up in to the OS, if I shut down the machine and stock it up
45 to 64GB, when the system comes back online, and goes to boot the kernel
46 out of the loader, the system resets itself and goes back to POST. Any
47 ideas?
48
49 I've even tried to re-compile to kernel 2.6.15.4 and that gives me a
50 panic citing an Oops! Attempted to kill init!
51
52 Let me know if you'd like more detail.

56 Does the kernel reboot itself or is it grub that chokes? Does it also have
57 the problems with 32 GB, or with 48 GB? And what about 63 (if you can
58 test that). You might also want to try to get at the output of the kernel
59 before it reboots.
