Field Note #1 @todesto 2011-09-14

you are not going to be able to boot with 8GB without patched kernel.
maxmem=8096 will not let you boot.
you need to boot with maxmem=4094 then patch your kernel followed by amd patches (search in this forum about booting 64bit with AMD) to boot with 32bit kernel to 64bit userland.
