SubjectRe: Problem with 1G RAM
It should work fine as long as you have carefully studied the kernel header
asm-i386/page.h and made the modifications to it and arch/i386/vmlinux.lds
accordingly.

By default the kernel will not work with that much memory.
So, either remove a bit of memory or modify the kernel.

Regards,
Tigran
