FreeBSD only sees about 3GB of RAM out of 8GB apparently due to a problem handling E820 data. FreeBSD pygmy.housenet.jrv 9.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT #3 r196500: Mon Aug 24 09:18:50 CDT 2009 james_at_pygmy.housenet.jrv:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 System: "ZOTAC GeForce GF9300-D-E ITX WiFi LGA 775 Mini ITX" with 8GB RAM and an Intel 9550S CPU. >From dmesg: real memory = 8589934592 (8192 MB) Physical memory chunk(s): 0x0000000000001000 - 0x0000000000098fff, 622592 bytes (152 pages) 0x00000000011fe000 - 0x000000006a5a7fff, 1765449728 bytes (431018 pages) 0x0000000080000000 - 0x00000000bfecffff, 1072496640 bytes (261840 pages) avail memory = 2819760128 (2689 MB) This code seems to be suspect sys/amd64/amd64/machdep.c: for (i = 0; i <= physmap_idx; i += 2) { if (smap->base < physmap[i + 1]) { if (boothowto & RB_VERBOSE) printf( "Overlapping or non-monotonic memory region, ignoring second region\n"); continue; } } I don't think BIOS e820 addresses need be uniformly ascending and in fact Zotac's aren't.
