Hey, I'm trying to put 1GB of ram in an Apple G4 box here, but I'm having
trouble.  Anything higher (well, in increments of 256M) is dumping me into
xmon early on boot (before the fbcons is initialized).

Any thoughts?  I'm unable to use xmon because of the USB
keyboard...unfortunately.  Too bad Apple didn't put a real serial port on
these machines :(

use mem= as argument, the highest mem I got was mem=703M.

So is it not (at this time) possible to use 1GB of memory on ppc?

No, 768MB is the maximum on chrp (B50), the newer PowerMacs can handle
only that 703M. I have no reports about oldworlds.
