same problem, different symptoms. a reboot will always fail with a BTX
bootloader memory error, but a shutdown -h and a power cycle always works.
this is on a compaq armada m300 with a Rage 3D LT Pro PCI which uses the
XFree86 Mach64 driver as well. since it's a notebook, it really doesn't
bother me, but thought i'd mention it in case it jigs someones memory or
something.
