While this was not on IBM hardware, we've had issues with more than 1GB of RAM on Intel mobos (Intel SRMK2 server) and Supermicros. Both would lock hard under medium load when more than 1 GB or so was in active use. Pulling out RAM made the problem go away (all RAM, including the 1GB left in the box was the same type/brand - Samsung). These are all dual processor boxes. Also had some issues getting SMP working at first on the Intel boxes. Hopefully the 5.x train will deal with modern hardware a bit better; this recent experience was a serious time-drain, and without a panic and dump, there's no help available. Search the -stable archives to see what folks have to say about "large" configurations.
