I got an Apple Mac Pro (NOT MacBook Pro) to play with. I tried to install FreeBSD and succeeded to a high degree of usefulness on this Mac. First problem was to open/close the CD tray reliable. Holding down the 'F12' key while switching on the power makes it open the tray, but one needs to be patient: it takes MANY seconds. Second problem was to boot the CD reliable. Holding down the 'C' Key while switching on the power makes it boot from CD. Then I tried to boot a FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE CD from Jun 5 2006. It booted up to the point where the hard disk was recognized 'ad0: 238475MB <WDC WD2500JS-41SGB0 20.06....' , but it booted not further. I did not debug this further but then tried 6.2-RC2-i386-disc1.iso as of Dec 26 2006. This booted all fine into sysinstall. I installed FreeBSD minimally scrubbing the MacOS X completely (this seem to be an important detail, see later). The then booted GENERIC kernel showed the following dmesg: Jan 4 11:16:25 newsyslog[634]: logfile first created Jan 4 11:16:25 syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel Jan 4 11:16:25 kernel: Copyright (c) 1992-2006 The FreeBSD Project.

All went well until I rebooted. The kernel locked hard when starting the gettys (even no more response for ICMP Echo Request/ping). The culprit was a left over /etc/ttys entry for /dev/ttyd0: the device was there (see dmesg output above) but there is no hardware. This seemingly resulted in a locked kernel. I did not debug this further. I removed the offending /etc/ttys entry and noted to myself to exclude 'device sio' in the customized kernel config I planned to create later. I noticed, that rebooting the machine oftentimes resulted in locks with this console message: Keyboard reset did not work, attempting CPU shutdown Rebooting works reliable after excluding 'device atkbdc' and 'device atkbd' from the kernel config I created later. After installing and booting a customized kernel I got a boot lockup just after recognizing the hard disk. A bit of searching revealed that 'device atapicam' was the culprit. Without 'device atapicam' the boot went all OK. Next thing to try was the X server. This is not a FreeBSD specific issue alone. I tried my /usr/X11R6 reference installation based on a 'make World' of X.org 6.9.0. The Xorg server crashed with 'signal 8'. I did not debug this further. I tried installing a different graphics card (ATI RV380 FireGL V3200 instead of the NVidia GeForce 7300 GT delivered with the Mac Pro). The Mac Pro did not even show a sign of booting nor initializing with this card. I tried to install the ATI RV380 as a secondary card (the NVidia as the primary) but I did not get a X server runnging on this secondary card (but I had not tried hard). Next thing to try was the NVidia Driver from NVidia's web site (with the GeForce 7300 as the only graphics card). It compiled and installed OK, the kernel part loaded OK and recognized the card with this messages: Jan 9 14:21:38 test-joerg kernel: nvidia0: <GeForce 7300 GT> port 0x1000-0x107f mem 0x91000000-0x91ffffff,0x80000000-0x8fffffff,0x9000000 0-0x90ffffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci8 Jan 9 14:21:38 test-joerg kernel: nvidia0: [GIANT-LOCKED] Starting the X server with a 'Driver "nvidia"' line in xorg.conf resulted in a crash of the machine. I did not debug this any further. Next thing was to look whether X.Org made any progress on supporting NVidia cards. And see: there was! I backported some changes of the nv driver in xf86-video-nv-X11R7.1-1.1.1.tar.gz in respect to the nv driver in xf86-video-nv-X11R7.0-1.0.1.5.tar.gz, which is the identical driver source as in X.org 6.9.0. Finetuning of the xorg.conf file is in the works. But the first X sessions on the local displays were all OK. Outstanding tests: sound, multiboot, burning CDs and DVDs. I did not yet tried any sound modules yet. On multibooting FreeBSD and other operating systems I tried to create an additional slice: one more slice created with sysinstall/fdisk makes that the Mac Pro does not boot from disk at all any more! Looks like this is something for 'boot camp' (whatever this is, I'll give this to our Apple Mac OS X people). I prefer cdrecord for burning CDs and DVDs. But this will not work until the 'device atapicam' problems are resolved somehow. More informations are available on request. I can run tests on the machine if anyone is interested.
