No, it's a normal autoconfiguring/autolinking device, which requires it to have
matching amounts of memory and configuration space.  So you get 2MB to start
with.  When you add another 2MB, you remove a shunt block from a jumper, and 
the board then starts asking for 4MB of configuration space.

Assuming you don't have anything between the A2630 and the GVP, it sounds like
a software problem to me.
