On our MPC8548 (latest die revision) based boards with 2 GByte DDR2 RAM we see an stable kernel when

CONFIG_HIGHMEM is not set

In this case only the first 768 MB will be used (as reported by /proc/cpuinfo).
Tested with/without the RT-patches for 2.6.29.6(-rt23) and 2.6.31.2(-rt13) kernels.

With CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y (2048 MB reported) we see (under "heavy" load conditions) regulary page
errors like this (with/without RT patches):

BUG: Bad page state in process loadgen  pfn:7e31d
page:c17c23a0 flags:80000000 count:0 mapcount:-128 mapping:(null) index:48105

With the RT-patches we see already during Linux startup at lot of these errors (from several processes):

Anyone experience with MPC8548 with 2 GByte RAM (HIGHMEM)?

We've used MPC85xx w/2G+ for some time w/HIGHMEM and havent seen any  
issues.  Are you sure your DDR settings are stable?
