Wild guess dept: Your new 2 GiB has gotten mapped as [30,32) GiB rather than as [2,4) GiB, and "real memory" is reporting the first unpopulated address above the highest installed range. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Not a surprise, the firmware is crap.

Re: FreeBSD reports incorrect amount of memory
trying to use memory that isn't there? How do I debug/fix this? Just curious, what was memtest86+ report? Can you install dmidecode(8) from /usr/ports/sysutils/dmidecode I'd be very suprised if GCC started misbehaving during compile ~BAS Didn't find anything with google. ___ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
FreeBSD reports incorrect amount of memory
Machine has been running FreeBSD/amd64 with 2 GiB of memory. I just installed a 2nd 2 GiB of memory for 4 GiB total. FreeBSD thinks it now has 32 GiB ???
