RE: Lots of memory on 826x

Ok... Got a little closer....

I have PCI (outbound) mapped in the area 0x80000000-0x8fffffff
(prefetch/non-prefetch and IO)
IMMR of cource is at 0xf0000000

So I map the IO as following:
	/* Map IMMR region to a 256MB BAT */
	addr =3D (cpm2_immr !=3D NULL) ? (uint)cpm2_immr : CPM_MAP_ADDR;
	io_block_mapping(addr, addr, 0x10000000, _PAGE_IO);

	io_block_mapping(0x80000000, 0x80000000, 0x10000000, _PAGE_IO);

Now I can almost boot....:
It craches when trying to read from harddisk
(only happens with more than 512MB)

Don't rule out a hardware problem, namely addressing to SDRAM.  It could be
consistent with what you're seeing - when you start to load a lot of data
and
cross some address you step on older data (or code).
