This is a case of the motherboard reserving address space in the 32-bit |
| 27 |
range for things like AGP aperture, BIOS shadowing, and so on. There is |
| 28 |
nothing linux can do about it. You can either a) get the motherboard to |
| 29 |
shift the displaced RAM above 4G (many motherboards can do this), or b) |
| 30 |
get the motherboard to shift the address space reservations above 4G |
| 31 |
(I've only ever heard of one motherboard that can do this). If you |
| 32 |
motherboard can do neither, then you must contact the manufacturer for a |
| 33 |
solution, or, at worst, buy a new motherboard. |
