$ grep CONFIG_NUMA .config
$ grep CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT .config
CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT=3
$

There are indeed multiple nodes:

On node 0 totalpages: 3584
free_area_init_node: node 0, pgdat 003659a4, node_mem_map 00402000
  DMA zone: 32 pages used for memmap
  DMA zone: 0 pages reserved
  DMA zone: 3584 pages, LIFO batch:0
On node 1 totalpages: 65536
free_area_init_node: node 1, pgdat 00366294, node_mem_map 00426090
  DMA zone: 576 pages used for memmap
  DMA zone: 0 pages reserved
  DMA zone: 65536 pages, LIFO batch:15

That fixes the boot, too.

Thanks!
