The GNU Mach kernel has a limitation on the amount of memory installed
(that results from mapping it into the addressable memory space).
This limit is not easily overcome, sorry.
You can probably deactivate the upper memory by hacking your kernel, there
was some discussion about this on one of the lists some time ago.
Or you can send the superfluous sticks to a friendly Hurd developer short on
memory :) [just kidding]
