I know it have been discussed, but it could be a problem to me for running = a 64bit compiled system; what is the stability of a kernel compiled with th= e PAE option? I've a kernel with no modules, and before trying PAE I would know for other= people experiences... In particular I'm interested in the behavior of ciss, bce, em and usb stuff= , and application like Perl, Ruby, PHP 5, MySQL server, heavy MAWK and bzip= 2 load. Also, if I boot a PAE kernel, in order to have all my RAM available, I have= to set the hw.physmem variable to 8G ?

I found PAE to be very brittle. Not all the drivers work well with PAE. Most recent Intel processors understand 64bit. I have several machines in our datacenter which are Intel 5160 running amd64.

The only reason I used PAE over a AMD64 kernel is because I needed to run stuff that wasn't available on 64 bit, such as Oracle drivers for Perl scripts etc. If I didn't have these needs I would prefer to run AMD64.

The install goes OK, but FreeBSD doesn't recognize that there's 4 gigs of ram unless I rebuild the kernel with PAE enabled; it sees only ~2.5 gb otherwise. And there's a suspicious white line emmited during boot: like "1.5 gigs above 4 were ignored". What's up with that? As I'm new to high-end hardware, am I using the right FreeBSD build of i386? Why can't it see 4 gigs without PAE? Thanks a lot.

Why can't it see 4 gigs without PAE? You only have 4g physical address space without PAE and your board takes 1.5G for memory mapping and such, so you only have 2.5G for RAM. Most boards just claim 0.5G, but 1.5G is not that unusual. Either use PAE, install amd64 if your CPU is 64bit capable or live with just 2.5G. There is no other option, since this is a hardware limitation. -- B.Walter http://www.bwct.de http://www.fizon.de bernd@bwct.de info@bwct.de support@fizon.de
