Yamaha YMF-752 has only recently been supported (LM 7.1 was the first to support it, I think), so don't expect good results for a while.

Buggy bios is the guitly one. Add 'append = "mem = 128M"' to a copy of your default kernel line in /etc/lilo.conf (if you use lilo) or /boot/grub/menu.lst (if you use grub). Run "lilo -v" as root if you use lilo.
