It's been a while since I've worked with a motherboard with interleaved

installing RAM as banks.  (True, they were all PC motherboards from the
early nineties, but hey... same principle).  Well, the important thing
is that everything's working properly, so finding out the cause of a
fixed problem isn't top priority.
   

You are right about the important thing! I just noticed that since you had 7
sticks, there must be a slot (which is what I should have said rather than
bank), assuming an 8 slot machine, unoccupied. I was just mildly curious as
to the role of the empty slot in your troubles: was the trouble sorted when
you avoided this slot altogether or something more complex. Don't feel
obliged to answer. A good mystery is as valuable sometimes as a good
solution...  :)
Banks A1-A3 and B1-B3 were filled, so the extra DIMM was in A4.  I 
switched it to B4 and it worked.  The slot might have gone bad but I 
doubt it as shuffling the RAM the first time brought my total up from 
160 to 192 MB.
