installed 4.9, when i boot i get the message: panic:contigmalloc1:
size must not be 0 and that's as far as it goes. i dual boot with
linux, the mbr is not a problemm since i can select either os
without problems. anybody know what the problem is and a fix?
appreciate ur help,thanks.
This seems to be one of the symptoms of buggy AGP support in the
system firmware. Unfortunately, there is no longer any supported way
of installing FreeBSD without it -- AGP is in the GENERIC kernels, and
has been for quite some time now.
You might try booting to the loader and disabling AGP, but I'm not sure
that will help.
incidentally, / on 4.9 is well inside the 8g limit, though it seems
that on freebsd that's not a requirement, at least i haven't seen
any mention of it.
The kernel has to be inside whatever *BIOS* limit exists for booting.
