Can you add "#define DEBUG" as the first line in 'lib/lmb.c'? That
should give you debug
output when lmb is used.

The lmb code works by getting the RAM size, adding reserved areas and then only
allowing allocations in non-reserved areay. However, the RAM size is
not fully used
depending on some config options and/or environment variables. There's possibly
something wrong in your configuration around that.
