BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
 BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009fc00 (usable)
 BIOS-e820: 000000000009fc00 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved)
 BIOS-e820: 00000000000e0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved)
 BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 000000004cff0000 (usable)
 BIOS-e820: 000000004cff0000 - 000000004cfff000 (ACPI data)
 BIOS-e820: 000000004cfff000 - 000000004d000000 (ACPI NVS)
 BIOS-e820: 00000000ff780000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved)
 BIOS-e820: 0000000100000000 - 0000000180000000 (usable)

and for pci mem route: node0 [0, 2g), node1 is [4g, 6g)

and e820 said only 3g can be used... [0, 1g), and [4g, 6g)

please check if you can change HW memhole setup to 3g instead 2g.
