ACPI stops working after memory upgrade vpr Matrix 175b4

My ACPI stopped working when I added an additional 256mb RAM to my vpr
Matricx 174b4 laptop. It has 256mb already, I added 256mb to make it
512mb and I got a bunch of AE_NO_MEMORY errors in the ACPI code.

I took the extra RAM out, and the ACPI support works.

I am using kernel 2.6.1 with acpi patches. I had the same problem on
2.6.0. On 2.4.20 with acpi patches the machine would not even boot with
the extra memory.

I have a custom DSDT file that I fixed errors in. When it was working on
2.4.20 It looked like all the ACPI features were active and functional.

Any ideas on what to look for?

Here is a sample of the boot log:
