How much memory do you have?

I'm too having trouble with the nve driver under FreeBSD, but only if memory 
is mapped beyond the 4 GB mark.

I have a Tyan S2895 mobo with a memory hole at 2.75 GB for PCI cards. In the 
BIOS I can decide how to remap this memory: Disabled/Hardware/Software

If I choose to set this setting to "Disabled" my nve driver works fine, with 
any other setting I too get "device timeout"'s.

Below are my memory chunks for the different settings:

Hardware:
real memory  = 5637144576 (5376 MB)
Physical memory chunk(s):
0x0000000000001000 - 0x0000000000090fff, 589824 bytes (144 pages)

avail memory = 4109500416 (3919 MB)

0x0000000100000000 - 0x0000000174baffff, 1958412288 bytes (478128 pages)
avail memory = 4085907456 (3896 MB)

Disabled:
real memory  = 2951872512 (2815 MB)
Physical memory chunk(s):
0x0000000000001000 - 0x0000000000090fff, 589824 bytes (144 pages)
