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.
