hi all, read thru the archives, esp thru thread: PAE
testing results ... from circa May 03.
I am getting a diffrent problem on a uniProc machine.
with 5.2.1 and a stock PAE build.
machine is stable and does not crash, but the big mem
user job we want to submit to it, all these jobs die
when
Thank you for your response
What i'd like to be able to do on this 5.2.1 machine
is run a user job that may take up 1.5GB of mem, i'd
like it to start swapping which it doesn't do, nor
does it panic, nor does it lock up. It stays
responsive.
Taking what U said i recompiled the kernel as a non
Generic amd64 kernel boots fine
after recompile of 5.2.1 amd64 version on Opteron 146
single proc machine (2GHz)
It doesn't mount the root file system
the error is:
ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp
The Geom list is blank
any suggestions?
PLS also email your responses to PG_AT_ETH1.com
be posting to
specifically for the amd64?
thx
