I have an existing asus P4vp-mx motherboard running on FreeBsd 5.3 release. Unfortunately, im not very happy about the outcome of it because of some proiblems. For now were looking for another brand of motherboard for our expansion, can anybody help me find a a general review on MSI K8t neo-FSR (for amd) and MSI 865pe neo2-pfs platinum motherboards? We want to compare this systemboards for our new machines. thanks __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I can write / read FAT32 and UFS2 partitions (someone mentioned that FreeBSD crashed when using UFS2, that didn't happened to me).

The only disks in the system are two identical SATA drives which I want to make into a RAID1 array. How can I bootstrap into this setup using the atacontrol approach? I've installed onto ad4, but just doing 'atacontrol create RAID1 ad4 ad6' isn't going to replicate this disk over to ad6 and make the resulting array bootable, is it? Do I need a temporary third disk to boot from, set up the array and then install onto that? I don't mind waiting a while until this code: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2005-February/046006.html makes it into STABLE. But even then, to proceed without a temporary boot disk would require installing from something like a STABLE snapshot ISO, wouldn't it?

I just completed an install on a machine with similar limitations. I did it like this: Configured disks to SATA RAID mode (in the BIOS) with no RAID configured (left the disks JBOD) Installed FreeBSD 5.3 from CD/FTP to drive ad4 cvsupped to stable applied patches compiled kernel rebooted to make sure my kernel worked changed ad4 to ar0 in fstab rebooted and went into the RAID BIOS Created ARRAY_1 (mirror) and when it asked me how I wanted to create it, I chose "BUILD" instead of "QUICK" or "INIT" and chose drive #1 as the source This copied drive ad4 (with the good kernel that supports the ar0) to drive ad6 rebooted and it came up and "just worked" The dmesg I just posted from the SE7210TP was achieved this way. I don't know if this way is sanctioned or approved (or even a good idea) but it seemed to work. The RAID BIOS is the Adaptec one, so yours may or may not include the "BUILD" option. Good luck!

The Silicon Image 3114 controller does have a build option, but, somewhat bizarrely, the Intel ICH6 controller doesn't---how does one rebuild a degraded array using this controller? I might try the above on the 3114. (At the moment, it seems to be happily working with ar0 set up by atacontrol with the ICH6 controller.) I am still interested in opinions on the merits of the BIOS-based setups with these (presumably cheap) onboard controllers versus setting up ar0 with atacontrol. Is there a performance/robustness difference?

The story under 5.2.1 was that either the keyboard would be active or the network would be active but not both at the same time (if I booted with ACPI disabled the keyboard worked but not network, booting with ACPI got the network back but no keyboard). To install I had to do a scripted sysinstall over PXE boot which worked. Now I'd like to run FreeBSD 5.3, I got it to install as an upgrade of 5.2.1, when I boot up with ACPI enabled I can access the keyboard and the network interfaces appear in ifconfig but will not respond to any traffic. If I boot with ACPI disabled I can use the keyboard but the network interfaces will not appear in an ifconfig. Does anyone have any suggestions? It seems like something minor, like I said the interfaces come up I can ping them from the blade itself but not from outside it (nor can the blade ping out). These are the built in bge interfaces.

I keep =B3hoping=B2 that next time I cvsup it will be fixed, but no). I downgraded back to 5.2.1-p13 and it is perfectly fine once again. *** Some background information: My FreeBSD box is my home NAT router, server, firewall, etc. It does DHCP, MX for some of my domains, secondary DNS (I got primary elsewhere), apache for some webhosting, blah blah blah. Nothing really special. It is a Dual PIII-500, 512mb ram, and a couple ATA hdd=B9s. Had 3 realtek network interfaces, but down to 2 now. *** The problem: Networking simply "stops" or "locks up". Why, I don't know. I believe initially it happened for all 3 network cards... I thought tcp/ip processin= g or something in the kernel got locked. It happens every 30 minutes to an hour, and lasts about 60 seconds to 120 seconds. Unfortunately, 60 seconds to 120 seconds is long enough to kill messenger (my gf does not like), online gaming, etc etc. Lately, I had taken one of the realtek cards out (it was for a several km long wireless link) and moved the server to my gf's place (where I am now 100% of the time). So now that I have the server locally and rely on it for my internet connection, this has become a real PAIN. I've noticed that I can remain ssh'd into diablo, do whatever I want while this "lock" issue occurs. So the lan interface rl0 is fine. The internet interface, rl1 (which goes to the cable modem) locks up. (btw, its not the cable modem as I am using my gf's now, and it did this at my place on my cable modem too, which is a different brand. Nortel at my place, motorola a= t my gfs). *** Attempts: I've attempted switching out network cards, and places 3 other realtek card= s in. Different brands, all with different revisions (D instead of B, etc, etc). No matter what I try, nothing fixes it. The machine seems perfectly repsonsive, and I am still ssh'd in and can do whatever I want on it... But the network card going to the cable modem has stopped responding?! This never happened during 5.0-Current all throughout 5.2.1-STABLE, but anywhere beyond 5.2.1 it craps itself. *** Dmesg output: Copyright (c) 1992-2004 The FreeBSD Project.
