A similar problem is described in http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-doc/2004-May/004262.html which recommends setting VM_KMEM_SIZE_MAX 419430400 for machines with large amounts of memory. Worked for me on a recent 5-STABLE. Might work for your rather elderly release. -- Adrian Wontroba ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As you may know, 5.2.1 was an early adopter release not intended for production use. It's not surprising you have encountered one of the bugs in it.

Kris Also note that 5.4-RELEASE has a severe crash bug related when you use PAE and 4GB+ RAM (which may be what the OP is running in to, actually) so if you want to be able to use all of your memory without crashes, you'll need to either upgrade to 5-STABLE or apply a small patch (search the mail archive for PAE and pmap.c). ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
