From: "Hiten Pandya" To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Cc: dhyoo@aratech.co.kr Subject: Re: kern/26510: kernel panic while booting on Intel STL2 server board with 4GB RAM Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2002 15:38:07 GMT This problem has been solved by Terry Lambert, and others on the FreeBSD -hackers and -current mailing lists. If you could just search through the mailing archives, with the keyword "4G" without the quotes, you will find ample information regarding this issue. Basically, this issue comes up, because of the Intel's 4 Gigabytes Virtual Address (VA) space limitation. This causes a hang in the FreeBSD's KVA mapping system. A patch for this was posted by Matt Dillon on the freebsd-current mailing list, as well -hackers. In a nutshell, your best bet would be to look at the freebsd-stable list, or freebsd-current list, depending on which version of FreeBSD you are running. regards, Hiten Pandya Security Fingerprint: 45 a5 9c f2 fb 07 da 70 18 02 0b f3 63 f1 7a a6 hitenp@hpdi.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
