64GB (i386) kernel config + PAGE_OFFSET change

Hi,

I am trying to boot a 2.4.17 (i386) kernel with 64GB kernel config
and PAGE_OFFSET changed to 3.5 GB (0xE0000000) and it does not boot.

I was wondering why ? I have 8GB on my machine (P-III). I looked
at Andrea's 3.5 GB user-virtual patch. It does not support 3.5GB
for 64GB kernel either ? I can't boot even with forcing mem=1G either.

Is there something fundamental here ?

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Badari
