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..
