Hello,

We have a Supermicro that has Winston 4GB of ECC Registered DDR333 RAM. Dual
Xeon Processors.

With PAE enabled, it seems the system reports 6GB of realmemory instead of
4GB, as below:

=============

We're experiencing Kenerl Fault Trap 12 panics in page faults and thinking
this maybe related. Any ideas ?

These are the extra options in our i386 Kernel config:

options         PAE                     # ENABLE PAE SUPPORT
options         SMP                     # ENABLE MULTI PROCESSOR
options         QUOTA                   # ENABLE QUOTA SUPPORT

makeoptions     NO_MODULES=YES          # ENABLED FOR PAE SUPPORT

device          apic                    # I/O APIC
device          acpi                    # COMPILE FOR SMP OPTION

Thanks,

Tamouh
