FreeBSD 7.1 - 32bit- Configuring PAE in FreeBSD 6.3 & 7.1 systems follow different steps. In FreeBSD 7.1 -32bit, the PAE kernel configuration file is included with the distribution, one doesn't need to create it. Steps that I followed- cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf config PAE cd ../compile/PAE make cleandepend && make depend make make install reboot Systems works perfectly with 16GB RAM(This means PAE is working in the guest.) * With 24GB & 32GB memory, system hangs & gives error- Panic : Page fault error. * With 64GB of RAM, the system hangs & gives error- MONITOR PANIC: vcpu-0:DoubleFault @ 0x4020:0xb91d8 (0xff0,0x1064) (0xb6cb8, 0xb9130) FreeBSD 7.1 - 64bit There are no issues uptil 24GB RAM. * With 32GB RAM, system hangs & gives error- Panic : Page fault error. * With 64GB of RAM, the system hangs & gives error- MONITOR PANIC: vcpu-0:VMM64 DoubleFault src=MONITOR @ rip=0xfffffffffc24e530 rsp=0xfffffffffc001000 regs=0xfffffffffc048f40 (0xfffffffffc24e9f1,0xfffffffffc24e530 My query is- (1) 64GB works fine if PAE is enabled in 32bit FBSD 7.1 32bit? (2) Am I making any mistake in executing steps. (3) The reason behind Panic: Page fault (4) The reason behinf Memory Panic (5) Is this a OS related issue. Please let me know the solution for the above issue. Thanks in advance. Vishwas How-To-Repeat: If I change the RAM size to 16GB, both of the dead systems are UP & work very well. Ofcourse, it takes a large "UP time". (may be 10-15 mins) If one changes the system ram to 64GB, the issue can be reproduced.
State Changed From-To: open->feedback To submitter: it looks like you are attempting this inside a virtual machine, is that correct? If so, what software are you using? Secondly, when you have 32GB or 64GB of memory configured, when does the panic happen? Is it during boot, or at some point after boot? Coupld you also please provide output from the following commands? (if possible, while the machine is configured for 32 or 64GB of RAM) "pciconf -lv" "dmesg" "memcontrol list" Thanks!
