Hi hackers@freebsd.org A laptop here emits a puzzlingly dmesg to both 8.1-RC2 & 8.1-RELEASE: real memory = 8572108800 (8175 MB) avail memory = 1018789888 (971 MB) BIOS reckons it has 1G. No panel to unscrew to inspect memory. I don't beleive 8G. If this is a bug in FreeBSD detect code ? I am ready to run test kernel patches againt 8.1-RELEASE & report back if anyone has code. (I have room to install a current too if necessary) Full dmesg here: http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/hardware/laptops/novatech-8355/dmesg/ Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Unix Linux C Sys Eng Consultants Munich http://berklix.com Mail in plain text.
