We are putting together a system with 32 MB of ram and have run into
a problem getting ISC UNIX to recognize the stuff > 16MB.
The machine has an EISA bus, so there *should* be no problems with DMA stuff.
The EISA bios recognizes the 32MB and checks it successfully. The ISC 2.2
boot finds only 16MB.
The interesting part is that we can make 386/ix 2.0.2 recognize the
extra memory by changing the settings in /etc/default/boot, but the ISC
UNIX product no longer has this file (and a strings of /etc/*boot* and
/etc/initprog/* shows that this file is no longer accessed by the
boot software). We have had no problems running 2.0.2 in this
configuration, so we *should* be able to expect the same for 2.2.
So the question is:
Is there a way that we can we get 2.2 to recognize the memory > 16MB
that 2.0.2 seems to have no problems with?
Any and all help via post or email is appreciated.
If I do get a solution, I will post it.
