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...
