The full DMESG can be viewed here: http://jago.pp.fi/temp/dmesg.txt You can ignore them. FreeBSD creates two psuedo-devices on x86 called apic0 and ram0. Their sole job is to reserve the memory ranges used by APIC devices and system RAM to prevent those address ranges being reused by anything else (such as PCI BARs). Many systems also reserve those ranges as a system resource via ACPI (or PnPBIOS for the non-ACPI case). What is happening is that the ACPI system resource driver isn't able to reserve these ranges because they are already claimed by apic0 and ram0. The important point is that some device claims them. It doesn't really matter which one does. -- John Baldwin ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
8.0 on new hardware and a few errors, should I be worried?
