With that bug fix, I get pretty much the same behavior on my Ryzen
machine as on my AMD FX-8320E.  BIOS settings are pretty much the just
the defaults.  I'm running 12.0-CURRENT, so I can't really comment on
11-STABLE.

This should have stated "releng/11.2", not "stable/11".

No, a mistake on my part.  Thanks for noticing.

It has branched off to releng/11.2 now.

It appears that the immediate cause is:

Revision 334460 - Directory Listing
Modified Fri Jun 1 00:28:29 2018 UTC (39 hours, 4 minutes ago) by gjb

Rename stable/11 back to -PRERELEASE for the duration of the
11.2-RELEASE cycle, now that releng/11.2 had branched.

Bump __FreeBSD_version.

PRERELEASE back?

2018-06-02 Thread Kevin Oberman
After teh announcement of RC1 I updated my 11-STABLE box, expecting wither
that I would see RC1 or STABLE, depending on whether the 11.2 BRANCH had
been created, but instead I am "back" at 11.2-PRERELEASE #1.

Is this intentional? At least it is confusing.

Acer Aspire E15 (E5-521-844N)

Boots in Legacy mode.  In UEFI mode, the BIOS forced secure boot
and would not allow me to boot from the image.

This laptop is generally not recommended for FreeBSD.  I bought it
because of the A8 processor and the 1TB disk.  But the disk is as slow
as molasses and the keyboard tends to drop spaces and returns.  The
Radeon R5 graphics work in VESA mode, and I was able to get better
performance at an earlier stage of 11-STABLE, but I have seemingly
forgotten the correct magic to get kernel mode setting to work on
11-BETA.-- George

Re: Ryzen issues on FreeBSD ? (with sort of workaround)

2018-06-02 Thread Pete French
So,I notice that https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225584 was
closes as fixed. I cant remember if there was another bug report for ongoing
Ryzen issues at all - I have been experimenting and have re-enabled most of
the BIOS setting and tweaks fne, but I still need SMP disbled or it
locks up. Havent tried for a week or so with that, and maybe some
of the latest chnages in STABLE will help. is this fixed for
everyone else, or are you all stll running with SMP off ?
