Summary: could not load PC BIOS '/path/to/bios.bin' on "-m 4096"

Initial Comment:
The maximum amount of memory I can give to kvm is ~3560M

I run custom compiled kvm-66 on F8 box with
Linux mailhub 2.6.24.4-64.fc8 #1 SMP Sat Mar 29 09:15:49 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The modules are loaded from F8 kernel, rather than those shipped with kvm-66

Indeed, I grabbed the kvm-67, recompiled, and loaded modules that comes
with kvm(kvm-intel).
After that I could give to the guest even 6G of ram.

And BTW, after I loaded those modules I was able to assign more than 4
CPUs to the guest as well(I remember there's such bug here).

Thanx for prompt reply.

Can you reproduce the problem with the modules shipped with kvm-66?

I would rather not. The machine is set up, and I'm not willing to mess
with it.
Sorry.
But I suppose my mistake was to use F8 shipped modules instead of kvm
provided.
Feel free to close this issue.

above 4 giga support in kvm, work stable just for kernel modules with
userspace memory allocation (kvm 50~, or 2.6.25)
however there is no actually any limitation in making it work for older
kernel modules,
i will take a look on it, (but it will take me few weeks until i will
touch it)
