have you tried setting the MAXMEM option in your kernel? -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Chris Angell Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2002 8:27 AM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: RAM Memory Question Helpers, I have a FreeBSD machine running 4.5 Release. This machine has 256 megs of ram. On startup, FreeBSD (or the boot loader?) recognizes the ram. It sees all 256 megs. The message reads something like "BIOS Reports 256789Kb". When the kernel takes over booting, it complains something like "Memory Hole in physical memory, giving up". The error is NOT in DMESG, though DMESG does say that this machine has only 150 megs of real and 142 megs of available memory. Does anyone have any ideas? This machine is a new 1 Ghz Athlon with two sticks of PC-133 SDRAM. This problem is rather puzzling. Usually, in my experiences, ram either does its thing like it's supposed to, or simply renders the machine inoperable.
