Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from QUOTED-PRINTABLE to 8bit by hub.freebsd.org id KAA26040 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello. I've got a nice machine over here. A Pentium II-MMX 300 MHz with 512 Mb RAM. But, it seems like I can't use all the RAM... :( With the generic kernel, it detects 64 megs. I recompiled the kernel with the option MAXMEM=(512*1024) and rebooted. The sees the memory, but then directly panics with "bounce memory out of range" right after it prints the "real memory" message. I tried setting MAXMEM to 256 megs (256*1024) and it worked. But I want to use all of my memory, not half :( What can be the problem? Please cc: me, I'm not on this list. /Jakob Alvermark ------------------------------------------------------- Teligent AB, P.O.
