The board came with the AlphaBIOS so I installed the latest SRM firmware. When booting FreeBSD (4.7-STABLE, cvsupped 30. Nov. 2002 0:00 GMT) I see these stange "*** no timer interrupts on CPU 0 ***" messages. Since Freebsd runs fine, besides of the X11 Problems I need to evaluate a litte more (unpected machine check on XServer start), I wonder if this message indicates something bad and how it can be avoided. This is the output of my systems configuration: >>>show conf Digital AlphaPC 164LX 533 MHz SRM Console V5.8-1 OpenVMS PALcode V1.21-2, Digital UNIX PALcode V1.23-2 SROM Revision: 3.1.2 Alpha 21164A-2 Pyxis ASIC Pass 2 MEMORY 256 MBytes of system memory Bank # Size Base Addr ------ ---------- --------- 0 128 MB 000000000 1 128 MB 008000000 Total Bad Pages = 0 Total Good Memory = 256 MBytes Bcache Size = 2 MB PCI Bus Bus 00 Slot 06: Adaptec AIC-7880 pka0.7.0.6.0 SCSI Bus ID 7 dka0.0.0.6.0 IBM DCAS-32160W dka200.2.0.6.0 PLEXTOR CD-ROM PX-32 Bus 00 Slot 07: DE500-BA Network Controller ewa0.0.0.7.0 08-00-2B-C3-0B-76 Bus 00 Slot 08: Intel 82378 Bridge to Bus 1, ISA Bus 00 Slot 09: 051B102B/0100102B Bus 00 Slot 11: CMD PCI0646 IDE dqa.0.0.11.0 ISA Slot Device Name Type Enabled BaseAddr IRQ DMA 0 0 MOUSE Embedded Yes 60 12 1 KBD Embedded Yes 60 1 2 COM1 Embedded Yes 3f8 4 3 COM2 Embedded Yes 2f8 3 4 LPT1 Embedded Yes 3bc 7 5 FLOPPY Embedded Yes 3f0 6 2 Regards, Oliver Schonefeld -- -------------------------------------------------------- And remember: "To Infinity And Far Beyond ...
