Stefan,

Yes the board works and Pibs works with both Dimms slot in use.
The board came from AMCC and it is the latest board with the 800MHz
440GX chip on it.

The system hangs upon SDRAM initialization, but only with both dimms
slots used.

I didn't even know this problem exist until another company that is
writing a device driver for me told me that the second DIMMS slot
doesn't work on there board. Sure enough it doesn't work on mines
either.

Gerald

Hangs where? Also upon SDRAM initialization?

Ideals? Not really. But I have an idea! ;-)

How did you get the Board? Directly from AMCC? Did it never work at all?

Your PLB frequency seems strange to me (160MHz). Please try to configure
your 
Ocotea to use a different setup, for example 533MHz CPU and 133MHz PLB.
Here 
is the output from our Ocotea:
