You'll need to be more specific than "memory out of range". It's possible that bounce buffers are still killing installs on large machines. So, pull out some memory, install FreeBSD, configure/build/install a kernel without the BOUNCE_BUFFERS option, and then put the memory back in. >BTW will a news server qualify as a system with lots of TCP connections >and the need of lots of mbufs ? Probably not. Most large news servers handle on the order of perhaps 100-200 TCP connections. When I say "large number", I mean in the thousands. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
