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]"

Any idea what I can do for this error? Have a look at: /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/PAE Is the device that is causing the problem listed with a "nodevice" entry? I guess in your case, it is the "adv" device, and it is listed. This means it does not work with a PAE kernel. Thanks, yes, I have nodevice in the PAE file for adv. 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?
