Changed the bufmemtype for all partitions to 5. There is now 2,02x,xxx bytes of chip mem on startup, which is about 1.9xmb. There is a bit of speed up as well.

Thanks Piru...

Where "Exactly" did you change all the Partitions bufmemtype value to 5?

I'd have to bootup to verify "exactly" where it was done. From memory it was in OS4, using Partition Wizard, in the Partition Details section...or something along those lines. OS3.9 would probably have a similar section in HDToolBox. See how you go with this...I can always look a bit further for you if you need...

...But your Post Title say OS3.9, not OS4.0??

Where in OS3.9 HDToolBox ??

Chip Mem is not even in the equation under OS4.

Your post is starting to sound like a right pile of Bullsh!t!

Can you clear this up please, for all or sakes!! :-?

Okay Astral, but at least have the decency to "Edit" your first post Title Please & State OS4.0 & not OS 3.9!

It will make things much cleaner across the rest of the Site & Internet.

Thanks for clarifying.  :lol:

{bleep} dude. Ure really asking for a friggin Drawing aint ya!

Look, your title to this thread says YOU are having ISSUES with LOW chipmem when booting in OS friggin' 3.9.

Now under OS friggin' 3.9, there ain't no friggin' option to set the memory mask.

...But,,,,under OS4.0,...there is!...... :idea:

So change the first post "title" of this thread (you can - "you" sarted it) or I'll get an Admin to!

Jeepers m8y! The whole site is hanging on this crap!  :-D

Why?

The problem I was having was with OS3.9 booting with very low chip mem, not OS4. The problem is now solved. The title reflects this. The thread contains the details of how it was solved.

But Astral, We cant fuggin change the memtype in friggin' OS3.9!

er.....DOH!!

*edit* ....sh!t....Maybe this Hydron Collider cr4p is fuki'n things up more than we could ever know! :-D

& thats the problem with Forums.......
They lack the facial expressions to go with ones words....
Consequently, the wrong end of the stick is grabbed & being as you are now holding the {bleep}ty end, you get all defensive blaming someone like me to have an attitude. Having an attitude with ya wouldn't have got you Green Smileys, now would it!? :crazy:

A shame you can't tell a straight story or even have the decency to apologise to the readers in here for your misleading information. So misleading, it gets mentioned elsewhere on this forum in another thread, which also ends up as confounded as this.
My sense of humour couldn't even meet you part way with half an apology. You have been asked several times about this matter & just talked rubbish until you clarified it was OS4 & not OS3.9.

....So change the friggin' Thread Title & Laugh ffs!
It'll save the Mods having to Torch it! :-D

@ Astral

I don't know what you should change the Thread Title to tbh.
OS4 boots with very low chip mem left could be just as bad tbh. OS4.0 only sees & uses the Fast Ram on the PPC board so whaddya do aside from  get your sheila to go to the fridge & get you another cold one!  :-?
