Hello all, First post to this list! I have an older PII machine that I upgraded from 192MB of ram to 672MB of RAM (512, 32, 128) and upon boot the system's BIOS recognizes all 672MB RAM, FreeBSD also recognizes the 672MB RAM but decides to be nice and cool by using 17MB RAM...bwah? Here is the output from the dmesg lines. FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE #0: Sat Nov 21 15:48:17 UTC 2009 root@almeida.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0 CPU: Pentium II/Pentium II Xeon/Celeron (348.21-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x652 Stepping = 2 Features=0x183f9ff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,MMX,FXSR> /**** MEMORY STUFF ****/ real memory = 704905216 (672 MB) avail memory = 18116608 (17 MB) <=== why? is it a sysctl? /**** MEMORY STUFF ****/ kbd1 at kbdmux0 acpi0: <COMPAQ CPQB0B5> on motherboard acpi0: [ITHREAD] acpi0: reservation of 0, a0000 (3) failed acpi0: reservation of 100000, 29f00000 (3) failed Timecounter "ACPI-safe" frequency 3579545 Hz quality 850 acpi_timer0: <24-bit timer at 3.579545MHz> port 0xf808-0xf80b on acpi0 pcib0: <ACPI Host-PCI bridge> port 0xcf8-0xcff on acpi0 pci0: <ACPI PCI bus> on pcib0 agp0: <Intel 82443BX (440 BX) host to PCI bridge> on hostb0 there are no other errors that I can find.
