I hope so!

That's *fascinating*; your output looks like your machine is punting
the memory region code altogether and falling back to E801.

Can you hand-apply a cookie? In arch/i386/kernel/setup.c, can you
add a

printk("e820: E820_MAP_NR = %d\n", E820_MAP_NR);

before the

if (E820_MAP_NR > 1)

line in setup_memory_region (I'm sorry; I'd give you a patch except
I put a K7 into my build machine and it promptly killed the disk :-()
and tell me what it says?

Are you getting any e820: messages?
