Hello. This might be more related to a bios setting or issue, but I hope somebody can give me hints in the right direction to remedy or at least diagnose this issue further. I installed more memory in one machine and now I see this in dmesg: real memory = 25769803776 (24576 MB) avail memory = 8237150208 (7855 MB) Real should be right, from before there were two 4 GB dimms in there, and I inserted two more 8 GB ones. Transcribed from BIOS: DIMM(s) 1 2 3 4 Installed Size 8192 8192 4096 4096 Enabled Size 8192 8192 4096 4096 Total Size 24576 I was wondering if the reason could be that this machine has been updated since older versions and bootloader may be old or whatever, so I also tried booting a linux. However, that also only uses 8 GB, and says (at least in a way I understand) less about what it can really see. This is amd64 FreeBSD 13.1. Is there any way I can use the rest of the memory? Or at least find out which dimms it is actually using? -- Eivind Nicolay Evensen
