Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG hi, first of all big thanks for updating de0 driver to support 21143 chip completely :) i am having some trouble with one of the freebsd servers. originally it was 2.2.7. it would run for a while and then lock up with no error message or anything. if i leave it running "top" on the console i could walk up to it and see time when it froze. so i wiped out hard drives and put 3.0 on there. every time 3.0 comes up, right after it detects the type of cpu and memory it complaints something about DMI table being wrong. 3.0 would freeze also. So i swaped ram and all the cards didn't seem to help. would run anywhere from 5 minutes to 5 hours and freeze. changing the cpu from pII-333 to pII-266 fixed the thing (ran for 6 days recompiling kernel every 5 minutes). but the dmi error message is still there with 266 processor. so i changed the motherboard to a different brand. it seems to work with 333 ok (for 6 hours now), but still has the dmi error message. So i put 2.2.7 back on the hard drives and the dmi error disappears. i guess 3.0 is more talkative? in archives someone mentions that dmi has to deal with plug and play. all cards are initialized correctly and work for a while. any comments would be appreciated.
