Re: Intel D945GCLF2
Hello
I have a D945GCLF2 for almost 2 months, and it works well with OpenBSD
4.4. I use it with the stock fan disabled and with an 120mm Nexus
RealSilent that covers almost the whole board. To make it fanless, I
think the best solution is a bigger heatsink for the north bridge like
[1], of course, if you have space for it. My temps are lower, due to
ambient temperature in this period of year:

As a side note, use it with OpenBSD 4.4 because earlier versions (4.2
tested by me) have issues with onboard gigabit ethernet controller.
Also, the stock fan is very noisy, even at 50% speed in BIOS.

Thanks for your two replies. I've just got one more question.
Can you read the temperatures with sysctl? (I'm thinking about a totally
fanless design, since this thing would only route (Gbit LAN+DMZ and
DSL) and run pf. So temperature monitoring would be nice)

Random crashes with Intel D945GCLF2
Release: 4.4 snapshot as of 2008/06/10 Platform: amd64 UP and MP Hardware: Intel Atom 330 on D945GCLF2 I picked up an Intel D945GCLF2 last week to play with, and it's been fairly unstable. Specifically, it randomly just freezes: no ddb, no error messages, it just hangs. When it's hung, the IP stack still seems to be functional, as I can ping the machine and establish TCP sessions, and established SSH sessions do not disconnect. However, anything beyond that is unresponsive, including the console At first I thought it was the networking, but after installing an em(4), and not loading pf on boot, I still see freezes. Then I tried disk load, but that didn't cause any reproducable errors either. Next I tried CPU load, which involved various factors of booting the UP vs. MP kernel, enabling and disabling hyperthreading, and running load tests. This didn't seem to trigger it either. So I figured it's got to be RAM. I've completed four full runs of memtest86+ today, and no errors have come up. However, I've found something strange: If I ask memtest86+ to probe the system for RAM, it seems to start looking for addresses above the 2GB mark -- and, obviously, throwing errors for those addresses. Shortly after that, it freezes. (Additionally, if I tell it to use "BIOS - All" memory sizing, it appears to look at memory addresses up to the 4GB mark. But this doesn't really surprise me.) Using "BIOS - Std" works just fine, and turns up no errors. I'm not sure if this is normal, and I don't have another x86/x64 machine to test on. But I'd expect that when probing, it shouldn't be told there's more memory available than what actually is present. Is anyone running a stable D945GCLF2?
