I'm running two single core 252's on it, and I haven't run amd64 on it, but it should be fine. I've running 32bit kernels/world on it just great on the 105 (not E) bios. nfe0 and 1 work great, even the on-board raid works: ar0: 238475MB status: READY ar0: disk0 READY (master) using ad6 at ata3-master ar0: disk1 READY (mirror) using ad4 at ata2-master tracking 8-current on it presently. However, I don't use any video in it at all, only the serial console. So I can't attest to that. -- Mark Atkinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] (!wired)?(coffee++):(wired); ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hello all. Can anyone with the afore-mentioned motherboard relate their experiences? I'm particularly interested in how it runs FreeBSD amd64 with two Opteron dual-core 2xx chips (it seems you need both chips in order to see all mobo devices since buses are connected to one or the other cpu socket via hypertransport link), and whether recent releases or -current can see all ethernet ports and PCI (incl. -X and e) slots with ACPI enabled/disabled. Has anyone tried the new BIOS update? S2895's not EOL'd yet - though availability is getting sketchy...
