Some versions of Xvesa offer the option;

*-map-holes*
   use a contiguous (hole-less) memory map. This fixes a /*segmentation
   violation */with some rare BIOSes that violate the VESA
   specification, but may cause slightly higher memory usage on systems
   that overcommit memory.

This does not seem to be available in BL3. It may solve some problems 
with older machines. I'm not sure what including this will require.

I am experiencing problems with segmentation faults with an AST Ascentia 
950N notebook.
