Lots of memory on 826x

From: Rune Torgersen <hidden>

Anybody know how to get more than 512MB (1-2GB) of RAM to work with
2.6.11 on a 8265?

Weird stuff and crashes keep happening on kernel start (vmalloc out of
memory, and a pci driver ups) when I tell the kernel I have more than
512MB of ram.
The pci craches happens when I tell the kernel I have 740-760MB or more.

Any idea of where to start to look for this?

I would start looking at what addresses are getting assigned for VMALLOC vs any io_block_mapping() calls.  I know I've had problems with large amount of memory in systems if the virt addrs allocated in io_block_mapping calls conflict with vmalloc addrs.
