I upgraded one of PPro FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE to 512M RAM. I recompile the kernel with MAXMEM=512*1024. The system came up and ran without problem. Also, 'top' showed all the memory was being used. I was going to apply the patch that Mr. Greenman posted about a year ago. The patch calls for increase some kernel parameters and require a 'make world'. I was wondering if that is still necessary. I prefer not to have to copy a separate source tree to do the 'make world'. If my memory serve me correctly, I remember that patch will make FreeBSD not BSDI compatible. Is this the only 'negative' about applying the patch? If I do not care about BSDI compatible, can I run the same kernel with our other non 512M systems? Any comments will be greately appreciate. Best regards
