Are you 100% sure it's an 8mb module?
Does the 8mb module work when configured as 4mb?

What model is the other ram expansion, and how did you set the jumpers? (People misinterpret jumper settings all the time.)

I'm not sure if they both fail the same way, I'll have to try it.
Yep, they are 8mb modules, as both have an sticker (they are different though) saying they have 8mb.
The rams work when configured as 4mb.
The jumpers are right for 8mb as the manual says:
LK1 between 2-3
LK2 "" 1-2
LK3 "" 2-3

I have to try them again, but I think none (or one of them) was giving 4mb selecting it for 4mb (1-2, 1-2, 2-3).

Edit: Ok I've tried both again. They work selecting 4mb (selecting 8mb it doesn't boot) and after booting I've got in other memory around 2,651,000. ¿¿¿??? with both.

Using the Amitek floppy to test the ram it says that it's got 4mb. Ram ok...
Sysinfo also shows the board with 4086kb.

Is it normal to have that in Other memory when the card has 4mb?

I'm using CWBLite with 16 colors..
