Hi, sadly OpenBSD does not boot with the latest Ivy Bridge EP (E5-2637v2) with 'Power Technology' in the supermicro BIOS set to 'Max Performance', on both 5.4 release and the snapshot dated Nov 3rd;
[demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type image/jpeg which had a name of image.jpeg] If I reset the bios to optimised defaults it does boot which is good.. But as soon as I enable the max performance mode I get the error seen in the attached image. Thankfully disabling HTT and disabling the other cores (leaving only 2 running) to enable 'Turbo' does work! However even with the BIOS set to defaults I still see these errors though during boot; [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type image/jpeg which had a name of image.jpeg] Cheers, Andy Sent from my iPhone Sent from my iPhone > On 5 Nov 2013, at 21:18, Pedro Federico <[email protected]> wrote: > > Sorry for replying my own message but my comment to Andy got wrongly into > the quote.
