SDRAM problem

[Andrey Kamchatnikov]

Hi,

I have CPU - Intel PXA255, Linux-2.6.17, 4 SDRAM 2Mx16x4 (32Mb at one CS, 
32MB at another). The problem is that there is a gap in 32Mb between two 
SDRAMs. If I write in booting string mem=64M and work with a file bigger 
then 20Mb, then Linux crash has occured. As I understand correct, the second 
SDRAM is not available.

I tried in the boot command line the next strings: "mem=32M at 0xa0000000 
mem=32M at 0xa4000000",
"mem=32M@0xa0000000 mem=32M@0xa4000000"

I tried also to add to mashine start routine:

static void __init fixup_my(struct machine_desc *desc,
               struct tag *tags, char **cmdline, struct meminfo *mi)
{
       mi->bank[0].start = 0xa0000000;
       mi->bank[0].size = (32*1024*1024);
       mi->bank[0].node = 0;

       mi->bank[1].start = 0xa4000000;
       mi->bank[1].size = (32*1024*1024);
       mi->bank[1].node = 1;

       mi->nr_banks=2;
}

MACHINE_START(My, MACHINE_NAME)
       .phys_io        = PXA_PHYS_IO_BASE,
       .io_pg_offst    = (PXA_IO_BASE >> 18) & 0xfffc,
       .fixup          = fixup_my,
       .boot_params    = PHYS_OFFSET+0x1000,
       .map_io         = my_map_io,
       .init_irq       = pxa_init_irq,
       .timer          = &pxa_timer,
       .init_machine   = my_init,
MACHINE_END

but did not get any successful results. My board loaded completly, correctly 
recognizes 64MB memory but available only 32MB (see next strings below):

Memory: 32MB 32MB = 64MB total
Memory: 29660KB available (2248K code, 415K data, 100K init)


I have read somewhere about ARCH_DISCONTIGMEM_ENABLE flag, which must be 
activated. But loading stoped at the next string (see below)

RedBoot> fis load linux
RedBoot> exec

Could someone please  help how to make the second SDRAM workable?

Thanks,

Andy
