I guess that this problem can be fixed in latest 4.4 stable by increase kernel config KVA_PAGES (eg. 512) I don't have an Intel STL2 server board, but my 2.5 G machine need to set this or it would has exacly the same panic. - Justin Chuang State Changed From-To: open->feedback Does this problem still exist with a recent -STABLE? This problem has been solved by Terry Lambert, and others on the FreeBSD -hackers and -current mailing lists. If you could just search through the mailing archives, with the keyword "4G" without the quotes, you will find ample information regarding this issue. Basically, this issue comes up, because of the Intel's 4 Gigabytes Virtual Address (VA) space limitation. This causes a hang in the FreeBSD's KVA mapping system. A patch for this was posted by Matt Dillon on the freebsd-current mailing list, as well -hackers. In a nutshell, your best bet would be to look at the freebsd-stable list, or freebsd-current list, depending on which version of FreeBSD you are running. regards, Hiten Pandya <hiten@uk.FreeBSD.org> <hitmaster@mysun.com> Security Fingerprint: 45 a5 9c f2 fb 07 da 70 18 02 0b f3 63 f1 7a a6 hitenp@hpdi.ath.cx On Mon, 21 Jan 2002 07:40:02 PST, "Hiten Pandya" wrote:

Could you post message IDs? I can't find the Patch from Matt that
you're talking about.
Also, if the patch hasn't been committed yet, surely these PRs should
remain open and be assigned to him?
Ciao,

When we reduced RAM size to 2GB, it worked well. We tried 3 boards, but all of them showed the same results. In addition, we tried some versions of FreeBSD such as 5.0-current, 4.1-stable, and 4.3-stable. FreeBSD 5.0-current and 4.3-stable always hanged while booting on the same environment. FreeBSD 4.1-stable was installed well. But when we increased some kernel resources like maxusers, we increased it upto 512, it hanged also while booting.
