Hello After upgrading FreeBSD 4.6 stable on an old compaq proliant it's reading the wrong memory amount from the BIOS at boot time like so: BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01 Console: internal video/keyboard BIOS drive A: is disk0 BIOS drive B: is disk1 BIOS 638kB/15360kB available memory FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.8 ... just before booting the kernel. the server has 256MB of ram installed. this problem has probably been there for more than a month (since the last upgrade in july) but it wasn't noticed until last week. a recent buildworld/installworld (finished on monday) did not solve the problem. I'm sure it's a software problem, because I tried changing all components of the server but the disks. HELP! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
