Subject: tyan S1836DLUAN >512Mb problems
Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk

Trying to use 1 gig of memory on a tyan S1836DLUAN (dual 450 PII's)
running 3.0-RELEASE, keep having problems with the system freezing up,
rebooting, compiles failing due to signal 11's etc. If I decrease the
memory to 512 megs (I'm using those weird micron 256meg simms btw)
everything works fine. Tyan claims this motherboard can support up to
'1GB SPD SDRAM or SDRAM+ECC in addition to the new 100MHz
SDRAMs'

This motherboard uses the 440GX chipset, but another system with
a tyan S1832DL (440BX chipset) suffers from the same symptoms when
>512 megs of ram are installed.


any ideas?

Thanks,
Sam
