Hello.

I've got a nice machine over here. A Pentium II-MMX 300 MHz with 512 Mb
RAM. But, it seems like I can't use all the RAM... :(
With the generic kernel, it detects 64 megs. I recompiled the kernel with
the option MAXMEM=(512*1024) and rebooted. The sees the memory, but then
directly panics with "bounce memory out of range" right after it prints
the "real memory" message. I tried setting MAXMEM to 256 megs (256*1024)
and it worked. But I want to use all of my memory, not half :(

What can be the problem? Please cc: me, I'm not on this list.
