Very speculative but might this be a ROM issue with 2Mb SIMMs? As has been acknowledged, the IIsi (a contemporary of the SE/30) works with 2Mb SIMMs but some SE/30s don't. I thought that the ROM would be an issue *after* the power-on memory check so perhaps there are hardware differences on SE/30 boards that are not transparent?
