Two patches that are in the current Debian gnumach package don't mix
well: there is one patch to make GNU Mach work with (i.e. ignore) RAM
equipent above something like 970 MiB and a patch to make the Linux
drivers use a different method of memory allocation. The combination of
both currently fails to work, as you can see.
A work-around that gets applied usually is to limit the amount of RAM
which GNU Mach gets to see by using GRUB's `uppermem' facility. Does
that help?

for the complete story. Gianluca, any news about an updated patch?
