Hi, I'm attempting to install FreeBSD 6.2 on Intel Server System SR1500AL with 4 gigs ram and CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5130 @ 2.00GHz (2002.99-MHz 686-class CPU). The install goes OK, but FreeBSD doesn't recognize that there's 4 gigs of ram unless I rebuild the kernel with PAE enabled; it sees only ~2.5 gb otherwise. And there's a suspicious white line emmited during boot: like "1.5 gigs above 4 were ignored". What's up with that? As I'm new to high-end hardware, am I using the right FreeBSD build of i386? Why can't it see 4 gigs without PAE? Thanks a lot.
