I've got a problem with my FreeBSD 5 system.I have a bootable CD and during boot session i receive the following message: 'panic: pmap_dev: Coud't alloc kernel virtual memory' I suspect that it is about my motherboard (PCChips with Sis630 chip) because it has video buitl -in and my RAM memeory is shared with video card. I had experienced the same problem with Mandrake Linux, Red Hat Linux or Debian versions (Phlak and Knoppix) but telling the kernel 'mem=220MB' did the trick. So, how do I tell to FreeBSD kernel how much memory do I have (220MB in this case)? What command should i give to him? Here is my system configuration: Duron1100, Sis630, video-sound-lan-modem buit in, 256MB SDRAM (from wich 32MB video shared). Can anyone help me? Thank you very much, Claudiu Tanaselia. ---- Home, no matter how far... http://www.home.ro
