Hello List,

I have a Dell PE 4600 with 24MB of memory that I am trying to run
6.2-RELEASE-p7 compiled with the standard PAE config file.

I get the following at boot: (hand copied)
6.2-RELEASE-p7
  root at ....:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/PAE
acpi_alloc_wakeup_handler can't alloc wake memory
ACPI APIC Table : <DELL  PE4600 >
timecounter "i8254 frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0"
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3GHz (2990.33-MHz 686-class CPU)
Features=0xbfeb8bff 
<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTTR,PGe,MCA,CMOV,PAT,
PSE36,CLFLUSH,DTS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,PBE>
Features2=0c4400 <CNTX-ID,<b14>>
Real Memory = 25769803776 (24576 MB)
kmem_suballoc : bad status return of 3.
panic: kmem_suballoc
Uptime: 1s

The box seems to run fine if I don't try use PAE. It is a dual cpu box 
and without
PAE it does not seem to have a problem running SMP. I have tried both 
the standard
PAE config and the standard PAE config with Option SMP. Both fail.

Any ideas,

Steve
