Thank you, Nicolas. It is true that I misspelled the syntax in the message but actually I have the correct one working. So the computer works correctly, however my problem is to understand why it does need this instruction with this particula motherboard (normally, with the recent kernels, it is no more necessary to use it).
Well, it seems like motherboard vendors screwed around with this BIOS function, since it was working nice for such a long time. Some newer BIOSes seem to use different function calls to report the proper memory size and the current Linux kernel does not use these functions yet.
