Hi all,I try to run FreeBSD-7-AMD64 on a Quad Xeon (Xeon MP 7320) and 32GB RAM. The Board is a X7QC3 by supermicro and the installation is done on another system, updated and plugged to this system. So I have a drive with 7-STABLE compiled today.The last line I see from dmesg is vga0- then the system freezes.Anyone using a similar configuration or knows what could be wrong? I still have some days left to play with it, before this box gets shipped to the customer.
This looks very, very similar to what I had once, on similar hardware (4x Xeon 7xxx, SuperMicro). I didn't find a solution and didn't bother since the box isn't intended for FreeBSD. I did find (by accident) a curious workaround: I booted Linux (I used Ubuntu 8.04 amd64 LiveCD - just to boot it, without installing), then rebooted and booted FreeBSD - worked every time, but it's obviously not a long-term solution. If you can also verify that this "solves" the problem, then someone might work with you to produce a patch.
