Some drivers don't work with PAE (see all the 'nodevice' lines in /sys/i386/conf/PAE). You'll need to purge those drivers from your config. If you are using the hardware those drivers support, then you can't use PAE. -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
