My large device gets disabled somewhere in LinuxBIOS or the kernel. This is the encouraging line from LinuxBIOS telling me that the registers are indeed set correctly.
PCI: 05:01.0 18 <- [8000000000 - bfffffffff] prefmem64
Unfortunately, Linux sees something different and fails to allocate this region because it sees it at 00000080-000000bf and that conflicts with other things.
Does anyone have a pointer to where I should look for this problem? Has anyone else had problems with devices larger than 4GB?
Thanks, Myles

you may be the first lucky person to do this.
I assume this is an opteron in 64-bit mode?

That's correct.
