I disagree.  The subject could have been "put our head in the sand and 
paper over bugs".

Please don't do that.  There is no reason for any machine not to boot 
way past "Uncompressing Linux" with the default split.  The likely 
reason it works with the 2G:2G split is because in that case the virtual 
and physical RAM addresses in the kernel are the same, and therefore 
missing p2v or v2p conversions are invisible.
