Re: [9fans] out of physical memory; no swap configured
2010/3/12 erik quanstrom quans...@labs.coraid.com: How do other operating systems detect the available RAM? Could Plan 9 use the same method? plan 9 uses the same methods for detecting ram everyone else does. perhaps we trust bios too much, but 8mb isn't impossible, either. try a *noe820scan=1 at the 9load menu prompt. - erik Hi, I tried it and didnt work, I got the same output. Maybe its time to trust BIOS less... :( Greetings: Bela
Re: [9fans] out of physical memory; no swap configured
I had this error on VMWare recently. The solution was to disable Venti and just use fossil. Venti is of questionable value when I'm already snapshotting my host's filesystem anyway. won't help. his situation is dire. only 8mb of memory seen. - erik

I didn't try that though. Dave Greetings: Bela
