Bios Revision is currently 2.1, yours is at 1.0c, but this won't change 
IPMI behavior


this was in dmesg:

looks like protocol 2.0, Firmware Rev 1.54


Perhaps it is still accessible via network.


No. So I need a DOS floppy?

Answer: The BMC chip is used, which is the ASpeed 2400 chip on the motherboard

  Is it possible to use this watchdog in FreeBSD?

Intel 910 is some years old- it is one card with an LSI HBA and some

The LSI Card is crappy. You should pick a real HBA (9211-4i, mps-driver) or a

Right, they fall under the mps driver like the following:

LSI Logic SAS2004 (4 Port SAS)
LSI Logic SAS2008 (8 Port SAS)

they are used with mps driver


LSI Logic SAS2108 (8 Port SAS)
LSI Logic SAS2116 (16 Port SAS)
LSI Logic SAS2208 (8 Port SAS)

LSI2308

those cards are all used with mfi.

The 9240 is special. It uses the 2008-Chip and a Megaraid-Firmware (but 
no Cache and also no BBU).

The Chipset can operate in 3 Modes: IDE, AHCI and RAID. Depending on the 
mode it has different PCI-IDs.


It is said to support (driver-)raid, but I don't use it.

When set to AHCI-Mode, the pci-id is 0x3b22. I use AHCI and it is 
supported by ahci in FreeBSD.




In case the RAID controller should result unsupported, would that mean that I 
can't even use the disk controller
at all?

if it is not supported, you simply can't use it.

 Michael!

Hi all,

I've been running those cards on Linux.

The 2008-Chip is an HBA-Chip. Linux uses the mpt2sas Driver (the old
HBAs are using mptsas).


The 2108 is the Raid-Chip using the megaraid_sas or 3w-sas driver
(depending on the firmware installed- LSI 9261-8i and 3ware 9750-8i seem
to have identical Hardware.


Hi,

Hi all,


Can you please clarify which linux works and how large the individual
disks are?
I know that 6GBIT SAS HBAs with LSI 2008 Chip are in the default kernel 
since 2.6.33- patches are available. The Disksize shouldn't matter.




My problem under BSD is 2-fold:

1. There is an open PR for this LSI device at
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=144326
you should reclassify the pr- telling about the exact device (device/ 
vendor id).




2. My smallest disk is 2TB

is this a problem? When you have a driver, it is recognized.

Your largest disk is probably also 2TB ;)



Without visiting the datacentre, I have no device to install to.

even when visiting the DC, I suppose.

I know of some 3GBit HBAs beeing able to be upgraded to Raidcontrollers 
(linux driver changes from mptsas to megaraid_sas). But this is not 
possible with all LSI devices.


Afaik we don't have a driver for freebsd yet.

 Michael!

Intel DQ57TM

[Michael Fuckner]

Hi all,

I have new HW to play with and I like to add support for FreeBSD-STABLE 
AMD64. It is an Intel DQ57TM with i5-660 CPU.


There are some parts working with the following patches

LAN:
82578DM (8086:10ef)
/usr/src/sys/dev/e1000/if_em.c
213a214,217

{ 0x8086, E1000_DEV_ID_PCH_M_HV_LM, PCI_ANY_ID,

PCI_ANY_ID, 0},

PCI_ANY_ID, 0},

{ 0x8086, E1000_DEV_ID_PCH_D_HV_DM, PCI_ANY_ID,

PCI_ANY_ID, 0},

{ 0x8086, E1000_DEV_ID_PCH_D_HV_DC, PCI_ANY_ID,

PCI_ANY_ID, 0},


em0: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection 6.9.14 port 0xf040-0xf05f 
mem 0xfe70-0xfe71,0xfe728000-0xfe728fff irq 20 at device 25.0 on 
pci0

em0: Using MSI interrupt
em0: Setup of Shared code failed
device_attach: em0 attach returned 6

This seems to be not enough, I'll keep trying.


CPU: i5-660
Features2=0x298e3ffSSE3,b1,DTES64,MON,DS_CPL,VMX,SMX,EST,TM2,SSSE3,CX16,xTPR,PDCM,SSE4.1,SSE4.2,POPCNT,b25

bit1 is PCLMULQDQ which is probably too long to be put in the cpuflags 
header?

bit25 is AES

/usr/src/sys/amd64/amd64/identcpu.c
265c265
   \032b25
---

  \032AES

---
VGA: Graphics integrated into CPU are still not working- even with xorg 
7.5 :(

--

Serial devices for IAMT?

c64# dmesg|grep atta
pci0: simple comms at device 22.0 (no driver attached)
pci0: simple comms, UART at device 22.3 (no driver attached)
c64#

Probably unneeded.

The only thing I can think of is that the P5Q boards use a Marvell
ATA/IDE controller (yes, you read that correctly).  I wonder if FreeBSD
somehow lacks support for this...

What confuses me is that you can boot the CD media, and FreeBSD will
load kernel modules and a copy of the mini filesystem into memory off
the CD, yet it can't actually find the CD come installation time.


First sectors are read by the bios, the kernel is loaded and executed. 
The Kernel doesn't know anything about this Controller, so it can't 
access the CD.


My advice is to disable the crappy Marvell Chip and get a SATA-DVD.

I'm sorry, I don't know about the status of the Attansic-Lan. You can 
add another supported NIC with Intel Chipset or something else that is 
supported.

FreeBSD-AMD64 on Xeon MP

[Michael Fuckner]

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.

 Michael!

Is there a third party software like Ghost in Freebsd? if so how to use it?


You should take a look at the commands dump and restore (for UFS)- or 
zfs send/ receive for ZFS.


Howto use:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/backup-basics.html

It is a little bit problematic with HW-Raid. You have to setup HW-Raid 
on the destination machine and clone to this raidset.

External SATA JBOD

[Michael Fuckner]

Hi,

I am thinking about adding an external Case with 4 haddrives to my 
server that should not be running 247. In ancient times this was done 
via SCSI and simply worked (turn on, rescan SCSI, mount).


I already have an external drive connected via USB, but I am not able to 
read SMART using this link.

x22# smartctl -a /dev/da0
smartctl version 5.37 [amd64-portbld-freebsd7.0] Copyright (C) 2002-6

Can this be done with esata and a port multiplier in the box like this one:
http://raidsonic.de/de/pages/products/external_cases.php?we_objectID=4239

I want to use software Raid via ZFS, so this should be a dumb chassis.
Is anyone using a simliar configuration succesfully? Are port 
multipliers supported by FreeBSD? Do I need any special Sata-controller? 
Can I read SMART information?

Michael!

Well anyway, will i notice any difference in 800 vs 1066MHz?
on a fileserver? I don't think so. I don't even think you need more than 
4GB.

Re: Need motherboard for home fileserver

 Requirements:
 - 4 SATA II channels
CURRENT now suuports Intel ICH9. ICH8 works fine, too.

 - Gigabit ethernet
dont use that onboard Marvell Crap- plug in an Intel em-card. Those are
about 30 bucks.

 - Decent sound (it'll also work as media player)
most of them have Intel HDA

 - Dualcore CPU support
 - Onboard video (machine is planned to be headless, so I don't want to
   bother with PCI or whatever video card)
G965 or G33 works fine for me.

 - working onboard GigE NICs
Intel Boards have Intel Nics if onboard is a requiremend.

FreeBSD-7 on G33/ICH9R

Hi,

I just added the ICH9 IDs to the ata-files, compiled a new kernel and
moved the disk to my new box. Now I can boot from ICH9R using AHCI.

But before submitting a patch, I'd like to know what ID 2921 might be.
Description: Desktop Non-AHCI and Non-RAID Mode (Ports 0 and 1). WIll it
ever be used?
Raid Mode on ICH9 is the same ID as raid mode on ICH8 (2822)?
