So, you mean no access will be routined to the last GB memory even it exists physically, due to FLASH ROM, PCI memory IO, APIC and OS reservation?

Hi, all,
I remember there is a discussion about how to allocate the PCI memory IO on a system with a 4G physical memory. I can't find it, Who could please send me the link. Thank you.
I can't recall a discussion besides a private one I had with Stefan, but both proprietary B. and coreboot leave the last GB for IO allocation, and move the last GB RAM across the border. Giving it a thought about e.g. the flash ROM et.al, and about 32 bit PCI cards and OSes, that's the natural thing to do.
HTH, Torsten
