[ltp] Trying to set up TP560 for debian - SODIMM problem

[Kirk Turner-Rustin]

FWIW, when upgrading the RAM on my TP365X (RedHat Linux 6.1) to 72MB,
the new memory (64MB SO DIMM) went unrecognized until I booted with a
fully charged battery _and_ the power supply plugged in. (I reseated
the chip three or so times before trying this, so the reseating may have
made a difference too.)
