You should check the manufacturer's specs on the board and see if this is a limit to the board for the memory you are using. Many system boards have different memory limits based on the actual memory modules you use. -Derek At 03:24 AM 9/14/2006, RJ45 wrote: >Hello, >I am running FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p6 build with buildworld. > >THe system has exactly 4GB of memory but the memory is not complitely >seen by the system. > >At boot thime I Get this warning > >524288Kb of memory above 4GB ignored > >and then if I check > >real memory = 3757965312 (3583 MB) >avail memory = 3678597120 (3508 MB) > >I do not know why this happens. > >I Tryed to search on the archives, also other people has this problem >but I could not find a valid solution at all. >anyone ha sa suggestion for me ? > >I tried to tweak BIOS parameters unsucesfully... > >thanks a lot > >Rick > >_______________________________________________ >freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list >http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions >To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > >-- >This message has been scanned for viruses and >dangerous content by MailScanner, and is >believed to be clean. >MailScanner thanks transtec Computers for their support. >
