Currently qemu's i440FX PCI bridge emulation code does not set the registers indicating the amount of RAM installed in each DIMM slot. LinuxBIOS relies on this information to properly set up RAM before booting Linux. The attached patch sets a i440FX configuration register indicating the highest RAM address in all slots, in units of 8MB. Since this is an 8-bit value, the maximum is capped at 2040MB. --Ed
