My # install of FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE correctly recognizes all # 393mbs of memory on my PC at home. I think the problem resides on how the BIOS on the Compaq Proliant 2500 responds to a total memory count request. I ran into the same problem with a Proliant 2500 at work, copied GENERIC to a new conf file, added the option, re-compiled and installed the new kernel, rebooted... and all 480MB of RAM detected. I just wish I had that much in my machine at home! -- Linh Pham [lplist@closedsrc.org] # Every solution breeds new problems To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
