To: freebsd-smp@freebsd.org Date: Sat, 28 Dec 1996 17:15:53 -0800 (PST) Reply-To: brian@mediacity.com X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL22 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-smp@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have an ASUS 2xPP200 with 256MB. It has been my guess that I therefore need to set MAXMEM to 128*1024, assuming each processor has its own private 128MBs to work with. This does indeed work. However, my assumptions may be wrong, and memory may be shared in some way. In which case MAXMEM may need to by 256*1024. I've tried this and the kernel fails to boot with a Panic message along the lines of unable to [reach/allocate?] bounce buffer. Basically, which is it supposed to work?
