Hello,
I just tried booting a FreeBSD-6.1-RC1/amd64 CD in a machine with an
Athlon-64 X2 4400+ and 4GB of memory.
The mainboard is an Asus A8V-E-SE.
The kernel displays its copyright and then crashes almost instantly. The
screen is filled with the letter 'k' and the machine reboots soon after
that.
Here is a copy of the verbose boot messages (transcripted by hand):
SMAP type=01 base=0000000000000000 len=000000000009f400
SMAP type=02 base=00000000000f0000 len=0000000000010000
SMAP type=02 base=00000000fec00000 len=0000000001400000

(crash here)
If the memory is limited to 3GB in the BIOS, FreeBSD boots as expected.
I would appreciate if someone could share some insight about this problem.
TIA,
