Hello everyone;
I have noticed that OpenVMS 7.2 doesn't seem to recognize all
of the physical memory in my vaxstation 4000/60; I am sure
that I have 32 MB (8MB mainboard + 6 x 4MB modules) and
in fact it is recognized by the prom:
KR46-A V1.1-31E-V4.0
08-00-2B-2A-F8-AB
32MB
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
OK
85 RESTART SYS
>>>
>>> show config
KR46-A V1.1-31E-V4.0
08-00-2B-2A-F8-AB
32MB
DEVNBR DEVNAM INFO
------ -------- -------------------------------
1 NVR OK
2 LCG OK
HR - 8PLN FB - V1.1
3 DZ OK
4 CACHE OK
5 MEM OK
32MB = SY=8MB, S0/1=8MB, S2/3=8MB, S4/5=8MB
6 FPU OK
7 IT OK
8 SYS OK
9 NI OK
10 SCSI OK
0-ST31200 5-TZ30 6-INITR 7-CD-ROM
11 AUD OK
>>>
Similarly, the TEST 100 command tests all of the hardware and
there aren't any errors. So, as far as the diagnostics in the
Prom are concerned, the system has 32MB of memory and it tests OK.
But, this is what I get under OpenVMS:
$ show memory

Of the physical pages in use, 10827 pages are permanently allocated to
OpenVMS.
So, what is happening here? Does anybody have some suggestions
as to why OpenVMS doesn't see/want to use the remaining 16MB?
Best regards,,
Carlos.
