I have tried to enable APIC by compiling kernel with 'device apic' (both with and without SMP option, although this is a UP system), but system just freezes during boot with it. Everything works pretty well without APIC, I was just curious about getting it to work. I found this discussion: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-May/027316.html and I have also found numerous reports on nforce2+APIC lockup problem in Linux and some patches that were reported to help with it. So, I want to find out if anything changed with respect to this in FreeBSD, maybe some patches/workarounds, or success stories about FreeBSD+nforce2+APIC. Also some notes about my lockup. It happens at this point (exerpt for non-verbose non-APIC dmesg): psm0: irq 12 on atkbdc0 psm0: model IntelliMouse, device ID 3 pmtimer0 on isa0 sc0: on isa0 sc0: VGA <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x200> vga0: at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa0000-0xbffff on isa0 Timecounter "TSC" frequency 1830012912 Hz quality 800 Timecounters tick every 10.000 msec ipfw2 initialized, divert disabled, rule-based forwarding enabled, default to accept, logging limited to 100 packets/entry by default <<< In APIC case system freezes here >>> GEOM: create disk ad0 dp=0xc6e15e60 ad0: 76319MB [155061/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100 acd0: CDRW at ata1-master UDMA33 Also, when system freezes keyboard LEDs still work properly and cursor disappears when I press Scroll Lock, but arrow and PgUp/PgDown do not work; if I try Alt-F system speacker emits monotonic sound that can not be turned off (except by reset, of course). I am ready to provide any additional information. Unfortunately I am not able to use serial console, so I can't give much info for APIC-enabled case. -- Andriy Gapon
