Given you said 1760 MiB I assume you're not running the device tree
currently in the kernel?
But the defconfig is /arch/riscv/configs/defconfig?
I tested it w/ my newer version of the dts, using both 1760 & 736 MiB
(ddrc_cache_lo only) w/ MAXPHYSMEM_2GB.
Enabling MAXPHYSMEM_2GB with either CMODEL_MEDANY or CMODEL_MEDLOW
lead to the same boot failure as you got.
