hi

from you're lspci output it seems that your vide controller is a shared
memory one. looking at the CB controller the iomemory starts at 448 MB.
so you have 512 MB of memory, 64 MB are for the video controller. it's
just that the BIOS is somewhat crappy and don't tell the kernel in the
e820 memory map. to fix your problem just add the following to the kernel
command line:
	reserve=0x1c000000,0x4000000
this tells the kernel that the memory region from 448-512MB is reserved.
pci iomemory will be allocated above that then.
