Could you try the patch below?

Feb 19 20:11:08 hp kernel: before free_area_init
Feb 19 20:11:08 hp kernel: On node 0 totalpages: 16384
Feb 19 20:11:08 hp kernel:   DMA zone: 144 pages used for memmap
Feb 19 20:11:08 hp kernel:   DMA zone: 0 pages reserved
Feb 19 20:11:08 hp kernel:   DMA zone: 16240 pages, LIFO batch:3
Feb 19 20:11:08 hp kernel:   Normal zone: 0 pages used for memmap
Feb 19 20:11:08 hp kernel: Built 1 zonelists.  Total pages: 16240

Much better! Tested with CONFIG_SINGLE_MEMORY_CHUNK=y and
CONFIG_SINGLE_MEMORY_CHUNK=n and a memory size of 0x4000000. So I don't
need the -1 in the boot loader anymore either.
I know your patch also seems to fix the "memory size must be a multiple
of the page size" requirement, but if it works this way it's fine with
me. I'm the only one using HP300 anyway, I think...


Kind regards,

Kars.
