And now you're where I am. For some reason there's a reserved memory range _somewhere_ at the tolm, of some unknown size. I've found that reserving an extra 1MB doesn't work, but 32MB does. I've found nothing in the documentation I have to explain this. BTW, have you had to make any code changes other than the MA Map, and board-specific fixes? I'm wondering how generic that code really is.

Corey, I think I've found the cause of this problem, it's agp aperture memory that caused this memory unusable. When I set agp aperture memory size to 128MB, I found I could only use the tolm - 128 * 1024 memory, and you set agp aperture memory size to 32MB, so reserving 32MB worked for you. The smallest size I can set for agp apertur memory size is 4MB and after setting that, memtest now reports 508MB(512MB - 4MB) is working fine ;-) Only I don't know why agp aperture memory would interfere with physical memory.
Are you configuring the system for AGP 2.0 or 3.0, ie are you configuring dev 0.0 or 1.0? The way I had it set up, I thought, was 32MB for video, 32MB for agp, and the rest for the system, using AGP 3.0. I could very well have messed something up somewhere, though.
