next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I am trying to install FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE on a machine
with 4GB of memory. The motherboard is a SuperMicro 370DL3
with a ServerWorks chipset.
The installation kernel makes it almost all the way through
the boot sequence, to the point (I think) of running the
first user level process /stand/sysinstall. The last normal
output before the crash is:
/stand/sysinstall running as init on vty0
it immediately panics before sysinstall gets a chance to
put up its colorful screen:
panic: swap_pager_swap_init: swap_zone == NULL
The system works fine if I cut the memory down to 3GB.
So, questions:
1. Is 4GB supposed to work in 4.3? Does it work with other boards?
2. Any suggestions on fixing this so it works?
