How much RAM does the system have?
You can try reducing memory addressed by the kernel with another loader knob:
hw.physmem=4G
But this was an even better hint... I set it too 1G to even avond the 4Gb limit.
Board should have 16Gb of mem....
It now get all the way to mounting the USB stick...
This what could be the problem now?
subsystem ffffff
parse_acpi_tables(0)... SRAT: Ignoring memory at addr 0x100000000

SRAT: No memory found for CPU 4
done.
subsystem 1000000
vm_mem_init(0)... vm_mem_init:131
done.
I have both tried 1Gb and 4Gb.
Could be that one of the DIMMs is defect, not seated correctly, or in the wrong
slot??
This would suggest that 4Gb is missing:
real memory = 12884901888 (12288 MB)
Physical memory chunk(s):
0x0000000000010000 - 0x0000000000099fff, 565248 bytes (138 pages)
0x0000000000100000 - 0x00000000001fffff, 1048576 bytes (256 pages)
0x0000000001200000 - 0x00000000da659fff, 3645218816 bytes (889946 pages)
avail memory = 3618148352 (3450 MB)
done.
Well, perform independent hardware (memory) testing with something like
memtest86+
and if it is all right, you show ask someone more knowledgeable. Maybe CC:

Perhaps should have done that when I started, but supplier assured me that
the they just retired the boards with out any issues.
Memtest86 found the faulty DIMM in 30 secs...
Not sure if we could/want educate vm_mem_init() to actually detect this.
It is still in the part where everthing is still running on the first CPU.
Making things a bit easier to understand what is going on.
Lets see if the box will run on 3 DIMMs for the rime being.
Then figure out with DMIdecode what we need expand again.
