Hi!
I noticed the following strange behavior with current kernel.
Is it only a display problem, or something goes wrong?
I am using P6@200, ASUS P/I-P6NP5 and 128MB DRAM (32MB x 4).
1) BIOS recognize 131072KB at parity check.
2) but, Extended Memory = 14336K is shown before boot select.
3) And, FreeBSD kernel's
a) Kernel built with May 1st source says;
May 2 13:34:10 ns1 /kernel.1: The Regents of the University of California. All rights reserved.
May 2 13:34:10 ns1 /kernel.1: FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT #5: Sat May 2 13:16:35 JST 1998
May 2 13:34:10 ns1 /kernel.1: root@ns1.tydfam.machida.tokyo.jp:/usr/src-current/sys/compile/TYD1
May 2 13:34:10 ns1 /kernel.1: Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz cost 3440 ns
May 2 13:34:10 ns1 /kernel.1: Timecounter "TSC" frequency 199310107 Hz cost 288 ns
May 2 13:34:10 ns1 /kernel.1: CPU: Pentium Pro (199.31-MHz 686-class CPU)
May 2 13:34:10 ns1 /kernel.1: Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x617 Stepping=7
May 2 13:34:10 ns1 /kernel.1: Features=0xf9ff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV>
May 2 13:34:10 ns1 /kernel.1: real memory = 15728640 (15360K bytes)
May 2 13:34:10 ns1 /kernel.1: avail memory = 13176832 (12868K bytes)
^\^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
\ Just 15MB??
b) however, Kernel built with Feb. 2nd source says;
May 2 13:05:31 ns1 /kernel: The Regents of the University of California. All rights reserved.
May 2 13:05:31 ns1 /kernel: FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT #0: Wed Feb 4 02:02:54 JST 1998

May 2 13:05:31 ns1 /kernel: CPU: Pentium Pro (199.30-MHz 686-class CPU)
May 2 13:05:31 ns1 /kernel: Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x617 Stepping=7
May 2 13:05:31 ns1 /kernel: Features=0xf9ff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV>
May 2 13:05:31 ns1 /kernel: real memory = 134217728 (131072K bytes)
May 2 13:05:31 ns1 /kernel: avail memory = 127193088 (124212K bytes)
^\^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
\ Seems OK!!
And May kernel is not stable. What is wrong with my machine?
