I see the same isa_dmainit failed with full ram utilized. With MAXMEM set to MAXMEM="(464*1024)" it is working under current. With 480M it is failing. I looked through the sources and found that contigousmalloc can't find a page of physical ram under the 16M margin. But I am not vm wizzard enough, to understand what the difference is with MAXMEM set to some lower value than the real amount of memory.
