So I did, fresh installation of Hardy Alternate Beta x86_32.

Just before T5000 flashes green screen it says this as error message:

memory size detection failed

/* Find how many physical memory there is on card */
+   memsize1 = (vga_rseq(NULL, 0x34) + 1) >> 1;
+   memsize2 = vga_rseq(NULL, 0x39) << 2;
+
+   if ((16 <= memsize1) && (memsize1 <= 64) && (memsize1 == memsize2))
+      info->screen_size = memsize1 << 20;
+   else {
+      dev_err(&(dev->dev), "memory size detection failed (%x %x), suppose 16 MB\n", memsize1, memsize2);
+      info->screen_size = 16 << 20;
+   }

So how (on earth) Gutsy 7.10's kernel is ok, but not Hardy 8.04's kernel 
anymore?

I do not get this one.
