Ok people - I've had more than enough help. Now please stop helping me for the moment. :)
Just a couple of comments: I know that I could get the maximum amount of memory to be used by fiddling the mem parameter. I just currently don't have the time to do so. Currently losing one meg is not an issue, I don't care about it that much, as long as I can prove to the owner of the machine that Linux uses mostly all of the 128M the machine has.
It's still a mystery why the detection code won't work, possibly ThinkPads are evil. That probably would not surprise anyone. I won't have this machine very long so I don't think I can test the memory detection code by poisoning it with some printks to see where it barfs.
Finally, concerning the sound issues, the ThinkPad really has a Crystal CS432x, which works just fine with the kernel drivers, no need to resort on the ALSA driver. Oh it's so nice to figure out the proper io,irq,dma values by trial and error and the setup is even more fun when you use any sort of 'config' tool like RH soundconfig. Just a pain in the *** since it cannot unload old sound modules, gives somewhat misleading results thusly. Luckily I know my way around irq settings.
