4Gbytes QNX v6.5.0   
I'v have problem, with using system with > 4 Gb RAM   (really 48Gb)
Small size server based on ASUS RS500-E6-PS4 with Xeon X5680 (LGA1366, i5500)
crash (practically immediately) with start  startup-*  -x.
If using ordinary startup-* (without  "-x")   QNX booting and running, but don't using memory > 4 Gb. 
POSSIBLE OR NOT working with memory > 4 Gb ?
And tell me please, if ordinary program don't have SPAWN_PADDR64_SAFE flag (set) . It's can't spawn into memory > 4 Gb?

RE: 4Gbytes QNX v6.5.0   
Did you specify -mP with procnto?

Re: RE: 4Gbytes QNX v6.5.0   
Hi
I'm rebuild kernel, and:
1) procnto-smp-instr -mP            the same (showmem -S;pidin info),  show only 3Gb system memory. (attachment file - 
mem.txt)

2) kernel crash,  if set two flags together:
startup-bios -s64k -x
procnto-smp -mP

New idea?

With best wishes
Suslov Sergey

RE: RE: 4Gbytes QNX v6.5.0   
When you have both startup-bios -x and procnto-smp -mP enabled, any
anonymous allocation will default to physical memory beyond 4G. Some
hardware like DMA controller might not be able to handle 64bit physical
address, then the system will crash/freeze. You can start procnto-smp
without -mP, then start any processes that can handle 64bit physical
address using "on -P <process name>". Please refer to the following
discussions for more information.

Thanks
I'm try it. But may be we will be saw, really 64-bit QNX?

Re: RE: RE: 4Gbytes QNX v6.5.0   
Hi
on -P proc ---->  use memory < 4Gb
 (we are testing with 2 * programms allocate 2 * 2Gb memory) Second allocate fault.
 If second allocate RAM 1.5 Gb -- OK 

If you interesting, using HW:
ASUS Z8NR-D12 motherboard with Intel 5500 + 82801DR (ICH10R) chipset with 48Gb RAM (12 * 4Gb)

OS support for this motherboard:
Windows 2003 Server, Windows Server 2003 x64, Windows Server 2008, Linux (RedHat Enterprise Linux AS5.0, SuSE Linux 
Enterprise Server 10)

With best wishes
Suslov Sergey
