No, the same hardware was used for each OS.



The picture under the heading System Hardware / Software does not  
reflect that.


Motherboard description differs, Chipset description for FreeBSD is empty.

In terms of the software, the stock software stack for each OS was used.

I was the on that carried out the testing and know that it was on the  
same system.


No offense. I'm not doubting you.

But I didn't know this:

All of the testing, including the system tables, is fully automated.  
Under FreeBSD sometimes the parsing of some component strings isn't as  
nice as Linux and other supported operating systems by the Phoronix Test  
Suite. For the BSD motherboard string parsing it's grabbing  
hw.vendor/hw.product from sysctl.


so maybe you can understand how I got my impression.
NVidia Audio and Realtek Audio.
Looks different to me :-)


Is there a better place to read the motherboard DMI information from?



Following Steven Hartlands' suggestion,
from one of my machines:

/usr/ports/sysutils/dmidecode/#sysctl -a | egrep hw.vendor|hw.product

/usr/ports/sysutils/dmidecode/#dmidecode -t 2
# dmidecode 2.11
SMBIOS 2.6 present.

Handle 0x0002, DMI type 2, 15 bytes

Nice. Didn't know about that.

problems with shutting machine now

2002-03-05 Thread Michael Ross

Hi,

I used portupgrade for the first time a few nights ago. I got through doing a few 
ports before having to shut the machine down. Now every time I issue the halt 
command I get the following message

Synching discs..

18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18

then something about giving up on the last two buffers

(apologies for not being specific, am currently at work away from the machine)

Since I have never seen this before I was wondering if one of the ports I upgraded 
could have broken it. I was going to try and finishing the portupgrade -ra then do a 
buildworld (will be my first attempt at one) to correct it.

I was wondering though if anybody on the list had any other ideas?

thanks,

Michael Ross
