   Try checking your control panel's RAM disk setting and see how much memory
it says you have.  If what it says is different that what you actually have on
your RAM keeper, then your problem is most likely the wrong type of RAM chip.
Contact the place you got your RAM and make sure you've got CAS before RAS
chips.  PCs don't really care what type of chips they use, but GS memory cards
like to have CAS before RAS.

   Also, your problem might be incompatibility with a DMA device.  Older
versions of the RamKeeper aren't DMA compatible.  Doesn't matter if your memory
card is or not, if the RamKeeper isn't, your system won't boot properly.  I
have this problem with my DMA SCSI card.  I have to disable the DMA because my
stupid RamKeeper isn't DMA compatible (even though my GS RAM+ and Apple card
are).  This was gross neglect on the part of AE, in my opinion, since they were
always spouting off at how perfectly compatible their cards were with
everything.  I'm sure they have an upgrade, but I don't think I should have to
spend the money to upgrade (or to call their 900 number).
