Nope. OpenBSD does not support PAE. If you want to access all 8G, you
will need to use the amd64 kernel. Sorry.

Thanks, Peter...
I thought the same and downloaded the amd64 CD and tried to install it
but it would not boot. In my ignorance I supposed that it would be
impossible for a 32 bits CPU to do that, so I threw away the CD.
Or are you suggesting that I install i386 and then download the amd64
kernel
Depending on why the amd64 cd didn't boot, you might be out of luck. If
it stopped during the kernel, then likely not.
No, amd64 kernel is not compatible with any of the 32bit binaries. We
only support apps using the kernel memory sizes.

More than likely, that means your CPU is 32-

If you mean that the CPU can only support 32 bits, you won't be able
to see the extra RAM with OpenBSD.
There was some code implemented several yea
Hi,
thanks for the answer.
This is a Sandybridge Mobile "Intel® Core™ i7-2640M CPU @ 2.80GHz × 4 "
How can I find out whether this is 64 bit-capable?
I have googled but not very successfully... I am afraid I am also
newbie in the tech jargon...

All i7's are 64bit compatible.
If you can try a new kernel (bsd.rd should be enough), then you can try
it out and see if it boots.
If it does boot, it is highly recommended to do a clean install. While
it is possible to upgrade from i386 to amd64 this is not recommended as
it is easy to miss som
Thanks...
I am downloading a recent snapshot and will try to do a clean install
with the amd64.
I will keep you posted.
Cheers,
Pau

Thanks for the help... I installed it and the 8G RAM are there (see
head of dmesg ahead).
I have another question... I have this big monitor (30"!) and I would
like to use the displayport but X does not seem to understand it,
because when I use the displayport cable the monitor is black. With
