Comment (by Karvjorm):

 Replying to [comment:2 anevilyak]:
 > If it fails that early on, it's unlikely to be RAM-related, there's
 hardly anything allocated that early in the boot process. Would you be
 able to get a list of the hardware in that box?

 Yes, the processor is Pentium(R) III, CPU Speed 1000 MHz, Cache RAM 256
 KB, Base Memory 640 KB, Extended Memory 522240 KB according to BIOS. What
 else you want to know?

 Then, I have two that kind of Desktop computers that I purchased for
 testing purposes (almost free). I tested them with Kubuntu 10.4 ISO Boot
 Disk before acquire. At home I installed Kubuntu 10.4 to both computers
 and they worked fine. For example, I'm able to listen music, but for video
 watching 512KB RAM is not enough. The next step was to install Haiku to
 one of the computers, but it failed as I have described above. It failed
 with both computers.
