Yesterday I did the full cvsup, build and install world, kernel, mergemaster, etc. on a 6.0-stable MP (2) Dell restarted and noticed on this mornings security run that it is only seeing 3G of the 4G that the box actually has (confirmed by the bios and physically). This is not something new, I saw it on the initial install but it slipped my mind because I had a non-technical doing the initial install over skype. If I had been there I would probably done a bios upgrade to see if that was the problem, but I'm in another country. kernel log messages: +++ /tmp/security.mNF3wyIb Sun Nov 20 03:07:10 2005 +FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE #65: Sat Nov 19 03:58:47 CST 2005 +ACPI APIC Table: <DELL PE BKC > +avail memory = 3151134720 (3005 MB) I've never seen this memory issue for years. Could there be a solution through configuration of the kernel, sysctl, etc.? Any and all suggestions appreciated. Thanks, ed P.S. A copy of the dmesg is at http://unixmania.com/dmesg_20051120.txt don't have a verbose one.:(
