From the vm_thread_new() error messages, your kernel virtual memory map is depleted. The OS uses KVA for a physical page attribute table. Therefore the 4GB machine will use more KVA than a 2GB. Apparently this difference is a enough to cause you problems. Either increase your KVA (KVA_PAGES setting in your kernel configuration file; see sys/i386/include/pmap.h look for values) or decrease your KVA use (memory drive?). --Mark
