There's a slight chance that you're running out of a resource called "PV entries". We changed the preallocation formula between the 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 releases. Try adding this: options "PMAP_SHPGPERPROC=400" ...to your kernel config file and see if this helps. The larger number of PV entries coupled with your large amount of physical memory might result in other problems, however (like the system panicing at boot time due to running out of kernel VM space). -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
