SubjectRe: Problem with 1G RAM
OK, who wants to volunteer to insert a check in the kernel: STOP if
__PAGE_OFFSET is incompatible with the amount of RAM specified by
"mem=xxxM" ? Failing that, print a warning, and reduce the RAM to (say)
960MB or whatever.

This seems to have bitten quite a few people, and we *do* want to help
people who run Linux on big machines, don't we? They don't always get a
second chance to explain to their bosses why the machine won't boot...
