However, some additional info: when FreeBSD 7.1 (either i386 or amd64) hangs on boot and if I wait long enough I get following messages: ... ioapic0: Assigning ISA IRQ 1 to local APIC 0 ioapic0: Assigning ISA IRQ 4 to local APIC 1 ioapic0: Assigning ISA IRQ 9 to local APIC 2 ioapic0: Assigning ISA IRQ 14 to local APIC 0 spin lock 0xffffffff80ac25c0 (sched lock 0) held by 0xffffff0002100370 (tid 100004) too long panic: spin lock held too long cpuid=2 uptime 13 s Cannot dump. No dump device defined Not much helpful to me, but hopefully will help somebody to skip purchasing this mobo... at least until first BIOS update will be released... /Alexander Konovalenko +46-8-5537-8143 (office) +46-7-3752-2116 http://daemon.nanophys.kth.se/~kono Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) Nanostructure Physics Department, Albanova Roslagstullsbacken 21 10691 Stockholm Sweden _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
