Seems as if one of the device drivers has problems with >= 4GB DMA physical addresses? Another idea is that the BIOS doesn't propertly configure the cpu's cache (MTRR registers), and physical memory above 4 GB remains uncached, resulting in a massive slow down when that memory is used[*]. Maybe a BIOS upgrade helps? [*] http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=383899 -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
