| POST reports 589248(k), which is not 576m, as one would expect.

It has been mentioned many times on this list that the Thinkpad BIOS
reserves the top 576K for its own use. 589248K + 576K = 589824K = 576M.

(It's purely coincidental that you have 576M and the BIOS reserves 576K.
I have 320M but the BIOS still reserves 576K.)
