After cold reboot, though dmesg still weird:
real memory = 8572108800 (8175 MB)
Physical memory chunk(s):
0x0000000000001000 - 0x000000000009bfff, 634880 bytes (155 pages)
0x0000000000f1a000 - 0x000000003e19ffff, 1026056192 bytes (250502 pages)
avail memory = 1018191872 (971 MB)
dmidecode now gives more info (maybe new libs), but dmidecode
output still weird, some extracts below, full version at

I've asked Novatech about a new BIOS for this MiTAC laptop.
