Hello everyone,

When trying to install freebsd FreeBSD distributed on a Dell XS23-TY3 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU L5520 @ 2.27 GHz and 24 GB RAM server it goes fine without any problem. But when try to install PAE, and it's very important to do that, I found the error in the picture link below.



so any help go with this or any company management Freebsd can install PAE on this server [ ¿Qué pasó? -- mod.]

Thanks in advanced for any help.

  1. FreeBSD 8.1 is long out-of-support. [Reference]. You should be using 8.4 (as of this date, at least) or 9.2. I'd try those versions and see if things get any better.
  2. Having said that, PAE is a feature (or hack) that simply hasn't been disconnected from the kernel build process. I doubt that anyone is actively maintaining it - it's more a case of building a PAE kernel doesn't trigger any failures during the build process, so the developers simply haven't noticed it is dead, yet. In particular, not all drivers are PAE-aware and even drivers that are marked as PAE-aware may have had changes that break them when running under PAE.
  3. Is there some reason you want to run in PAE mode on a processor that supports true 64-bit amd64 architecture? Normally, people do this when they have systems that hold more than 4 GB of memory but have a 32-bit-only CPU (like older Socket 603 Xeons). Remember, you can run 32-bit FreeBSD binaries on amd64 (as long as your kernel has the COMPAT_FREEBSD32 option). You can also run any Linux 32-bit binaries that would work on FreeBSD-i386 on FreeBSD-amd64. It is even possible to compile programs in 32-bit mode on FreeBSD-amd64.
An explanation of what you're trying to achieve would help others to suggest a solution for you.
