Hi,

are there any issues with FreeBSD 4.9 on a dual Xeon 2.8 GHz with more than
4 Gig of RAM? pae(4) says that 4.9 was the first release with PAE support.
So I am little bit concerned about driver and overall stability. At least,
we need working isp/ispfw, ciss, em, and smp/apic.
Any comments, ideas, caveats? Updating to 6.2 is currently not an option :-(

You could upgrade to 4.11. I have a couple of FreeBSD servers that I need to keep on 4.x for certain reasons and I've got them running 4.11-RELEASE-p26. I don't have any experience with PAE though, so I can't comment on that.
