The problem of 512 kb + 512 kb ext or 640 kb with 0 kb ext is a
fault in the main board.
It's not a bios problem but a hardware problem.
I've the same problem and it can't be solved by my dealer.
The only solution is to put 512 kb + 128 kb on the main board and
the other 512 kb on a extended memory board +/- F 200,- with 0 kb.
I have done that.
