Error with kernel PAE option

What does this mean and/or how can I address this problem? Should I just remove the entry from the PAE file? How about going with the 64bit version of FreeBSD? That was my first try, but the CPU appears not to support amd64 as there are no AMD Features listed in dmesg. -- Robert ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What does this mean and/or how can I address this problem? Should I just remove the entry from the PAE file? No. The idea behind the PAE file is that whatever you see with nodevice is not supported by PAE kernels. Even if you manage to compile a kernel with the device, you will just get into trouble. The idea behind this file is that you change the line: include GENERIC on the top, to your own custom kernel configuration file. Then you compile with make buildkernel KERNCONF=PAE which gets all your settings from your own file *minus* the ones that are incompatible with PAE (the ones identified with nodevice) How about going with the 64bit version of FreeBSD? That was my first try, but the CPU appears not to support amd64 as there are no AMD Features listed in dmesg. Is it a 64bit CPU? The AMD64 version of FreeBSD supports the Intel 64bit (Core2 / Quad / Xeon / Pentium 4 / Pentium D) processors as well, regardless of the AMD in its name. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It is an Intel Xeon 2.4GHz processor, but I was told yesterday here on the list that if LM does not appear in the AMD Features line of dmesg, then it does not support amd64. I looked at another server we have here now running amd64 FreeBSD and I see the AMD Features line with LM, but on this server, no AMD Features line whatsoever. I am getting 'BTX halted' when trying to install FreeBSD-amd64 on this server. The other server we have running it has Xeon 3.0GHz procs, I thought that was kinda weird that the two servers were really close in spec, but one would not run amd64 :/ This would be my preferred option if I can get it to install. -- Robert ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, LM is the flag for x86-64. You are probably running a 32bit Xeon CPU. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
