Took some digging out of your log..
AMD Athlon(tm)64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+ stepping 02
I have same CPU, though possibly a bit different board.
I didn't have success with 4 GB RAM until couple months
ago, when Asus did publish a new (beta) BIOS version that
did correctly configure memory hoisting in the system.
I don't override the pci= and iommu= options, they
should work just fine -- if the BIOS isn't entirely rotten.
I have used mem=3000M which lets system to work, but
of course wastes a gigabyte of memory..
