System: NetBSD 6.0_BETA2

Machine: i386
>Description:
A kernel 5.99.7 from around 2009-03-07 found two DIMMs:
spdmem0 at iic0 addr 0x50
spdmem0: DDR2 SDRAM, data ECC, 1GB, 800MHz (PC2-6400)
spdmem0: 14 rows, 10 cols, 2 ranks, 4 banks/chip, 2.50ns cycle time
spdmem0: tAA-tRCD-tRP-tRAS: 5-5-5-16
spdmem0: voltage SSTL 1.8V, refresh time 7.8us (self-refreshing)
spdmem1 at iic0 addr 0x51
spdmem1: DDR2 SDRAM, data ECC, 1GB, 800MHz (PC2-6400)
spdmem1: 14 rows, 10 cols, 2 ranks, 4 banks/chip, 2.50ns cycle time
spdmem1: tAA-tRCD-tRP-tRAS: 5-5-5-16
spdmem1: voltage SSTL 1.8V, refresh time 7.8us (self-refreshing)
Something changed between 2009-03-07 (5.99.7) and 2009-04-05 (5.99.10)
so from now on the kernel only finds just one DIMM.
The spdmem0 at 0x50 will no longer be found.
This is the output from NetBSD 6.0_BETA2:
piixpm0 at pci0 dev 20 function 0: ATI Technologies SB600/SB700/SB800 SMBus
Controller (rev. 0x3a)
piixpm0: interrupting at SMI, polling
iic0 at piixpm0: I2C bus
spdmem0 at iic0 addr 0x51
spdmem0: DDR2 SDRAM, data ECC, 1GB, 800MHz (PC2-6400)
spdmem0: 14 rows, 10 cols, 2 ranks, 4 banks/chip, 2.50ns cycle time
spdmem0: tAA-tRCD-tRP-tRAS: 5-5-5-16
spdmem0: voltage SSTL 1.8V, refresh time 7.8us (self-refreshing)
Btw, this issue it not BIOS related because I successfully booted a
5.1_STABLE earlier this year which showed both DIMMs.
>How-To-Repeat:
Add the following lines to your kernel config and boot that
kernel on a Asus m3a78 board
spdmem* at iic? addr 0x50
spdmem* at iic? addr 0x51
