On my brand new Dell PowerEdge, now running FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE under test, there is 4GB RAM, but looking at dmesg.boot, this is what shows: real memory 268173312 (261888K bytes) available memory 255455235 (249468K bytes) This is 2GB RAM only showing, with kernel.GENERIC. There must be something I need to compile in the kernel so as to access more than 2GB RAM. I have compiled "options PAE" in the kernel but it still does not see the full 4GB RAM. -Wash http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html DISCLAIMER: See http://www.wananchi.com/bms/terms.php -- +======================================================================+ |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington <wash@wananchi.com> Zzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 +======================================================================+ It's not the valleys in life I dread so much as the dips. -- Garfield
