Unfortunately I didn't note exactly the error output, I will try tonight 
again (it's a server on production), but:
 - with 2GB, after lilo black screen ...
 - with 1.5GB, the kernel stops after detecting SCSI drive, with a long 
output that explaned a memory error in stack ...
 - obviously, rebooting with 1GB everything works ...
in a few hours I can report in ML the details ... (waiting for offices to 
close) 

thanks in advice,
Marco Marabelli
