However, some additional info: when FreeBSD 7.1 (either i386 or amd64) hangs on boot and if I wait long=20 enough I get following messages: =2E.. ioapic0: Assigning ISA IRQ 1 to local APIC 0 ioapic0: Assigning ISA IRQ 4 to local APIC 1 ioapic0: Assigning ISA IRQ 9 to local APIC 2 ioapic0: Assigning ISA IRQ 14 to local APIC 0 spin lock 0xffffffff80ac25c0 (sched lock 0) held by 0xffffff0002100370 (tid= =20 100004) too long panic: spin lock held too long cpuid=3D2 uptime 13 s Cannot dump. No dump device defined Not much helpful to me, but hopefully will help somebody to skip purchasing= =20 this mobo... at least until first BIOS update will be released... /Alexander Konovalenko +46-8-5537-8143 (office) +46-7-3752-2116 http://daemon.nanophys.kth.se/~kono Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) Nanostructure Physics Department, Albanova Roslagstullsbacken 21 10691 Stockholm Sweden
