A box (PIII 400Mhz, asus motherboard, 256MB ram) got a memory upgrade (got the 256MB out, and put 2x512MB in). Well, the Bios sees the correct amount of RAM (1GB), but FreeBSD is noticing only 256MB. I have tried to add MAXMEM="2048*1024" in the kernel, also tried to put 'hw.physmem="1G"' in /boot/loader.conf, but with no result. FreeBSD is stubborn enough in detecting: real memory = 270561280 (264220K bytes) avail memory = 260583424 (254476K bytes) at each boot time. Any ideas what else I could check? Thanks, bogdan
