In this file there is a variable called remap_high. I assume the function of this is to remap the high memory (512MB) so it is contiguous with the low 512MB.
Even when remap_high is true, on -current, I end up with two 512MB segemnts, one at 0 and one at 4 GB.
Anybody have any idea as to why this would happen? It's confusing 2.4.19 from what I can see.
And while I am replying the confusion of 2.4.19 if it is real, is a kernel problem. If you can confirm that the problems go away when all of memory is in 1 1GB segment that would be a very interesting data point. I suspect the kernel simply has some very confusing messages, and no problems will be solved by flipping this option.
