Hi all,

I have upgraded my home desktop (1.4GHz P-IIIS) machine from 6.2-RELEASE-p9
to 7.0-RELEASE some time ago. When comparing the two dmesg outputs from 6.2
and 7.0, I realized that some things aren't the same anymore.

Probing agp gives the following messages
----------
6.2-RELEASE-p9:
pci0: <ACPI PCI bus> on pcib0
agp0: <VIA 862x (CLE266) host to PCI bridge> mem 0xe0000000-0xe0ffffff at
device 0.0 on pci0
pcib1: <PCI-PCI bridge> at device 1.0 on pci0
pci1: <PCI bus> on pcib1
pci1: <display, VGA> at device 0.0 (no driver attached)

7.0-RELEASE:
pci0: <ACPI PCI bus> on pcib0
agp0: <VIA 862x (CLE266) host to PCI bridge> on hostb0
agp0: Invalid aperture setting 0x0agp0: Invalid aperture setting 0x0agp0:

agp0: Invalid aperture setting 0x0agp0: Invalid aperture size (0Mb)
device_attach: agp0 attach returned 12
pcib1: <PCI-PCI bridge> at device 1.0 on pci0
pci1: <PCI bus> on pcib1
vgapci0: <VGA-compatible display> mem
0xd8000000-0xdbffffff,0xde000000-0xdeffffff

at device 0.0 on pci1
----------

So what are the errors "agp0: Invalid aperture setting 0x0" and "agp0: bad
aperture size (0Mb)" and "device_attach: agp0 attach returned 12" that I see
in 7.0-RELEASE? I assume that agp driver is not attached, so there's
something wrong with its implementation in 7.0, right?

I have uploaded the complete dmesg's to
6.2-RELEASE dmesg : <http://pastebin.com/f12c0ff27>http://pastebin.com/f12c0ff27 7.0-RELEASE dmesg : <http://pastebin.com/f3e6809c6>http://pastebin.com/f3e6809c6

Thanks a lot :)

The agp aperture size is usually set in the BIOS.  Check your BIOS.

Hi,

It could be a possibility, but I haven't touched anything in the BIOS. I've just upgraded my 6.2-RELEASE-p9 to 7.0-RELEASE from source. Besides, I was not geting that error when using 6.2. Apparently, it's something related to FreeBSD rather than my BIOS.

Thanks :)

While you may not have changed anything, I would verify the setting in your BIOS and possibly try a different setting. Most BIOS allow only for 2-3 settings. It may be you have a non-standard setting and the loader is seeing that as 0.
