But, give it a shot by 'enabling' the psm driver and see if it's recognized. (The driver was completely re-written for 2.2, but unfortunately does not back-port very well to 2.1.7). > 2.

Try using the option MAXMEM in your config file. options "MAXMEM=(X*1024)" where X is the number of MB's you actually have. (People have also found that this works better if you actually multiply the #'s ahead of time, instead of relying on the multiplication to be done. Nate
