I vaguely remember something about this from a long long time ago, I think
that at 64MB or more you had to add a boot option of nbuf=500 or something
like that, this might not be necessary anymore, I can't remember.

Other possibility is to try putting the simm in the other slot and seeing if
it works then.  Does it work in RISC-OS ?
