Sounds like you are running out of HEAP.

 The real problem is LinuxBIOS thinks there is no memory. Remember that
in the beginning we set up the CPU with no functions to be called? It
turns out we do need to have some functions called, because part of what
the functions have to do is indicate how much memory there is. We can
look to another Northbridge chip for inspiration. It is pretty close to
the SC520 and avoids the complications of the K8 Northbridge, which are
very complex.
