You have 4G physical memory on your laptop. but the BIOS e820 table exports 5G
avaiable memory.
this explains why mem=4G workarounds the problem for you.
So this is a BIOS bug, and this can only be fixed by BIOS upgrade.
Mike,
please verify if there is any BIOS upgrade for this laptop.
If not, I think you can raise this problem to samsung.
