Dear Hackers,
I have successfully installed my new (and shiny) freebsd5.3 on one of
our hp rx4640 itanium2 system. With the SMP kernel, it has detected
the 4 CPUs correctly. But then reviewing the /var/log/messages, its
sees only 1G of ram:
Nov 8 18:10:50 TEST2 kernel: real memory = 1058357248 (1009 MB)
Nov 8 18:10:50 TEST2 kernel: avail memory = 1018814464 (971 MB)
Nov 8 18:10:50 TEST2 kernel: FPSWA Revision = 0x10012, Entry =
0xe0000040ffe62050
Nov 8 18:10:50 TEST2 kernel: FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System
Detected: 4 CPUs
On my web searches, I found out that not even PAE is supported in ia64
arch. I also put hw.physmem=8G inside the loader.conf but no effect.
Is there a way for me to convince freebsd that the system has 8Gb of
ram?
Omar
