For a comparison, please take a high-resolution picture of the card and post it here.
The images are over 1mb each so I posted them on imgur here:

The ACA1233n uses Z3 auto-config for adding the memory to the freemem pool. The 1MB fast RAM you see is added by Kickstart, it's the $c0-trapdoor area, same mechanism as the A500 uses.
So what's most interesting is the "boards" output of Sysinfo. Please check that.
Also, is it a standard A1200, or are you using some kind of Zorro/PCI board with it? This may also be a cause for non-working Z3 autoconfig.
Please also mention your warratny ID, so I can take a look at the QC picture.
Hey Jens! I misspoke in the initial post, it's actually 1mb of slow ram and not fast. If that makes a difference.
I checked sysinfo under boards and it just says no auto config boards found. CPU says 68030 40mhz. Otherwise it's a pretty stock A1200. I have no other kinds of expansions except a IDE compact flash adapter and the 3.1.4 ROMs. The PCB is of Rev. 2B make and the warranty ID is: GT3hY. Thanks for your help! -
I've removed the mentioned capacitors but as expected it did nothing. The computer still works though (phew). It was a long shot. There is nothing else I can think of that could be wrong. I've not seen anyone else have this problem. Maybe the card is damaged or something? It seems pretty odd to me that the acceleration would work but not the memory expansion. If something was damaged I would probably get a black screen, right?

It's actually 1mb of slow RAM. No fast RAM is available.
So I have 3mb in total including the chip RAM. I read another thread here (ACA1233n /26 issues.) and wondering if I could be experiencing something similar (need to re-program the CPLD)?Another possibility is the 2 capacitors E123C and E125C. I have a Rev. 2B board. I guess I will check if I have the capacitors, but i'm not sure I want to start removing capacitors for the off-chance that it helps.
I'm at a loss what else it could be, as the acceleration seems to be working, i'm just missing the RAM.
