Default greater than 4GB RAM?

Similar problem here. Have 24GB of RAM according to bios bootup screen. Only 2Gb detected by Open BSD.

My problem is that ( see title ), and
this is part of the output from dmesg:

real mem = 267747328 (255MB)
avail mem = 250056704 (238MB)

mi cpu is:

cpu0: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.00GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 3 GHz
cpu1: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.00GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 3 GHz
cpu2: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.00GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 3 GHz
cpu3: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.00GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 3 GHz

This is a Server Dell PowerEdge 1800 series, and it has 1GB of Physical RAM
installed in two modules of 512 each.

I need to know what to change to make openbsd recognize all ram.

PS: Last Month I have Ubuntu Server 9.04 Installed on this box, and It recognize all ram.

Greetings from Cuba, sorry for my bad english, thank you very much.

This probably isn't a similar problem, OpenBSD/{i386,amd64} do not support bigmem, so memory above 4GB physical is not detected.

There is more than just RAM mapped into physical address space, including various ROM's and the PCI configuration space.. 2/3G is the max that will be detected as of now, OpenBSD obtains a memory map from the BIOS.

You can check your BIOS settings for anything that might reclaim some of the address space so it can map additional RAM, AGP apererature sizes and shared video memory are one areas of interest.

Sorry, hope that helps.

I should note, that there appears to be a BIOS update available for your system.. version 1.4.3 was released in 2009.

I have split your message & responses from the original thread. Even though it may be a similar subject, there are differences in the details. If discussions continued on both fronts, continuity would suffer & become confusing.
