Anyone here runs FreeBSD 4.3 on either Asus CUV4X-D or : Abit VP6 motherboard? If so, are you running it on a dual processors or a : single processor? and how stable is it? Very late reply. I'm running FreeBSD 4.2 on a single-proc CUV4X-D mobo. Installation was a major pain. Sometimes the installer didn't recognize the IDE hard drive or failed to write the boot manager. Other times, it failed to boot from the IDE CD-ROM drive. I went through several IDE CD-ROM drives (and dropped the IDE hard drive, SCSI still rules) before finding a working hardware set. Current issues: on boot, 4.2 hangs at various parts of the hardware probe (disabling USB in the BIOS hangs it forever). It's using VIA chipsets: pcib2: <VIA 82C598MVP (Apollo MVP3) PCI-PCI (AGP) bridge> at device 1.0 on pci0 isab0: <VIA 82C686 PCI-ISA bridge> at device 4.0 on pci0 atapci0: <VIA 82C686 ATA66 controller> port 0xb800-0xb80f at device 4.1 on pci0 pci0: <VIA 83C572 USB controller> at 4.2 irq 7 pci0: <VIA 83C572 USB controller> at 4.3 irq 7 Another recent issue: more than 512 MB RAM eventually causes it to somehow kill my ethernet card with /var/log/messages like: /kernel: fxp0: device timeout I'm going to update the BIOS later on, hope it fixes things.... -- Eugene Lee eugene@anime.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
