The combination of both of these are important.  At least when I was 
debugging with the Red Hat folks, using the 'mem=128' switch blew things 
up, since that conflicts with the frame buffer RAM. I'd try something 
like 'mem=112' or some such when trying to bring up graphics.  AFAIK, 
the last time I checked VSA, it was reserving ~12KB for frame buffer, 
but I have no idea if that's still current.

Cheers!
