Thanks for your reply. Will this issue be solved soon? Is it a
hardware issue or a software one?

A combination.  I think a Software fix is possible.

Can I make the 4G-256M memory
reserved so that kernel will not try to allocate memory in this area?


I have never tried it.

The issue is maintaining mappings for 32-bit PCI devices. If you only want to support 64-bit devices, it would be easier to address the issue.

can not use more than 4G ram is bothersome since the memory is so cheap now. :-)

Thanks very much.

This is a known issue.

passing mem==3072M will restrict kernel memory usage thus avoiding the
issue.
