that is not true.

OpenBSD does not currently support more than 4GB of RAM on amd64, that
is true.

 what i did,

 set 'int bigmem = 1;' in 'arch/amd64/amd64/machdep.c' (Though it
 already set to 1 i just check it)
 - compile the kernel B except for the last step
 (make install)

 I compiled B GENERIC.MP .. and try to boot with that but it will give me

 can you take a look at this,

I just forgot to mention that,

When i  run the custom kernel (e.g. bsd44.bigmem) the output is 
similar to the stock kernel.

 Hi every one,

 As in that kernel 'BigMem' is already set to 1. But during boot time I
 can see 4GB instead of 16GB ram.
 
 When I use 'Top' command it will shows around 8GB ram.
 
 Any suggestions from any one how to solve this problem?


I'm afraid I can't solve your problem but the following information might be
useful:


- the actual data of things you see

You make some claims on things you see, but you don't show the actual data.


- output of the boot loader's 'probing' line

The boot loader prints something like:
Loading...
probing: pc0 com0 ... mem[... a20=on]

If I'm not mistaken the mem[... a20=on] part shows the sizes of the memory
blocks detected by querying the BIOS. Adding up these sizes should give an
idea of how much memory is reported to the OS by the BIOS.


- output of 'dmesg |grep mem'
Something like:
real mem = ??? (???MB)
avail mem = ??? (???MB)
spdmem0 at iic0 addr 0x50: ???

This should give an idea of how much memory the OS is actually using.
It may also print spdmem entries giving an idea of what memory is physically
installed/detected.

OpenBSD does not currently support 4GB of RAM.  Check the
archives (http://marc.info) for various war stories.
