Problem reading memory

Rzvy · Post by **Rzvy** » 10. Jun 2013, 21:45

Hello, I use VirtualBox 4.2 on CENTOS 6.4 x86_64 as a guest OS and I installed FreeBSD 64-bit using it.
But after I installed it reads only 4 GB of ram.
My chip is AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 6320 and I don`t have a problem with cores, it reads the cores from the chip fine but the memory not.
What can be the problem ?

Post the guests log file (as an attachment)
See Online Users Manual for the location of the file.

Is this the right one ?

VirtualBox actually sees all of the RAM and you have it set to run 64-bit. It looks like it must be a guest issue.

Is there any real reason why you are running as root?

No, I`m running as root now because I`m only doing some testes....
So its actually reading all of my memory ? And I should ignore the message that appears ??

What message that appears?

6701056K of memory above 4GB ignored.
This is the message that appears.

Even removing the spaces does not return anything on you link so I could not see it.

Hmmm, strange for me it works.
But I writed the message:
6701056K of memory above 4GB ignored.

Tried allready to attach it but it`s to big.

It looks very much like you are running the 32bit version "GENERIC i386" which can only address 4GB

It finally worked here too.

That message is from FreeBDS and it is because you are running the i386 version (as it shows in the window) which can not use more than 4GB.
You might be able to enable PAE in the guest settings and see if it does, but not sure.

Oh and just so you know. VirtualBox was not designed to be used in root. It torks the permissions when you try to change it to a normal user, meaning you can but you must know what you are doing.

And how do I change the version ?

Post by **Perryg** » 10. Jun 2013, 23:06

You download the 64-bit version from FreeBSD
