Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk When trying to get BSD to recognize >64MB in certain machines [AMI bios] only 130688k is reported instead of 131xxxk, and the kernel with the appropriate MAXMEM value hangs immediately during initial boot up with a sub allocation panic error (3). Any ideas? This is readily reproducible, but doesn't happen on any other machine I have found . The motherboard is a generic. Thanks, Jerry
