Re: branch 9 and uefi
Well, I'm running disks I was running in another system before. I installed them by having a running system on another disk, then setting them up manually from there. I'm kinda particular... And ACPI is working, right? I'm running a Kingston KVR1600D3E11SK4/16G set. I assume you are correct. People run special kinds od ram.

On Fri, Jul 20, 2012 at 05:37:01PM +0200 I heard the voice of Zoran Kolic, and lo! it spake thus: Hurrah! I shall get a bit cheaper version, plain m5a97 or pro. AFAIK, the only difference between the plain M5A97 and the Evo is that the Evo has better VRM's. If you're overclocking a 125w CPU, it's definitely worth it; otherwise, probably not so much. (I'm not, but I like headroom ;) Let me ask you further. What option you chose during install? Well, I'm running disks I was running in another system before. I installed them by having a running system on another disk, then setting them up manually from there. I'm kinda particular... Further, what ram did you put on the board?

But I wouldn't expect any. Kingston's always been good for me on the one side, and I really haven't seen near the problems out of the boards some people have. I suspect there's a heavy contingent of people pushing weird bleeding-edge memory speeds and failing... -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fulle...@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: branch 9 and uefi
Thanks all for respond! I'd try to mix answers and not bother you with no reason. You don't say how big your hard drive is, and if you want to run any OS besides FreeBSD. It shall be ssd drive of 64 gb. Freebsd only, as about 10 years long. You can go into the guided installer to see what it wants to do but are better off selecting partition sizes outside the guided installer. I suspect it has to go the way sysinstall takes. In fact, I never went over borders partitions made. I was able to boot the FreeBSD installer USB stick using the memstick image, and am able to boot the USB-stick FreeBSD installations I've created. I will install on ssd. Plan is not to have dvd/cd at all. UEFI worked for me during my first installation on a UEFI machine. I moved then to 10 and still have no problems. Great! Just what I want to hear!

branch 9 and uefi
It took me by surprise. The mobo I have on my mind for new desktop has uefi instead of bios. It is asus m5a97, with 970 chipset, well priced among users on the net. How would it behave with 9.1? After all reading, I plan to boot it as memory stick and go with simple guided install. Someone could comment on the topic? At the moment, I see I have to avoid manual partition and mbr. Or not? If it sounds bad, any other option for motherboard and amd 8120 cpu?

Re: branch 9 and uefi
Hi, I had a hard time booting FreeBSD 8.2 on an IBM X3550M3 which is also an UEFI maniac one. I could only boot FreeBSD from an USB DVD and install it from there. Maybe some legacy fallback boot options are availabe for this mobo. I think they have its user manual on their website.

Re: branch 9 and uefi
Hi, let me make it very short. UEFI worked for me during my first installation on a UEFI machine. I moved then to 10 and still have no problems. So, if you really fail, install CURRENT and it will work. Of course you are not running then a release system with all the consequences.

Maybe some legacy fallback boot options are availabe for this mobo. I think they have its user manual on their website. I installed FreeBSD last summer (2011) on a UEFI system, beginning with 9.0-BETA1 after having big problems with NetBSD. My hard drive is Western Digital Caviar Green 3 TB, practically forcing me to use GPT as opposed to MBR. I was able to boot, and remain able to boot using System Rescue CD (sysresccd.org) and selecting the Super Grub Disk from menus. Then I can boot as described in /usr/ports/sysutils/grub2 , which is where I got that information. You don't say how big your hard drive is, and if you want to run any OS besides FreeBSD. You can go into the guided installer to see what it wants to do but are better off selecting partition sizes outside the guided installer. bsdinstall's boot partition is useful if you run FreeBSD as the only OS on the hard disk, as I have done successfully installing FreeBSD to a USB stick. I was able to boot the FreeBSD installer USB stick using the memstick image, and am able to boot the USB-stick FreeBSD installations I've created.
