You've probably already checked this, but it's worth mentioning.  The LX 
will indicate a Tsunami failure if the first half of the first bank of 
RAM is filled, but the second half is not.  Since the LX does not have 
contiguous RAM slots in each bank, this is easy to do (if you just drop 
RAM in the first two slots).

U0304 and U0303 _must_ be filled.  The RAM slot numbering on the 
Classic/LX is:

U0401 <== Bank 3
U0302 <== Bank 2
U0303 <== Bank 1
U0402 <== Bank 3
U0301 <== Bank 2
U0304 <== Bank 1

The uSPARC series uses an integrated CPU/FPU, "Tsunami" is the codename 
for the entire uSPARC assembly (not just the FPU).
