FreeBSD using Konqueor or Lynx takes more than 10 seconds. This is puzzling since ftp transfers at 400kbs, pings of freebsd.org take 80ms, and top shows CPU is 93% idle. This is for a EPIA-CN130000 mini-itx with .5gb memory. http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/mainboards/motherboards.jsp?motherboard_id=400 Via says it works with Windows and Linux. It worked well for me using Mepis Linux. Note the message log sees a VT6102 LAN but the board has a 6103. Perhaps that explains the problem. Otherwise, it must be a protocol issue. Any suggestions would be welcome regards, -Bob- k: FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #0: Sun May 7 04:32:43 UTC 2006 k: root@opus.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC k: Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0 k: CPU: VIA/IDT Unknown (998.51-MHz 686-class CPU) k: Origin = "CentaurHauls" Id = 0x6a9 Stepping = 9 k: Features=0xa7c9b8ff k: Features2=0x181 k: real memory = 469696512 (447 MB) k: avail memory = 450207744 (429 MB) k: kbd1 at kbdmux0 k: acpi0: on motherboard k: acpi0: Power Button (fixed) k: Timecounter "ACPI-fast" frequency 3579545 Hz quality 1000 k: acpi_timer0: <24-bit timer at 3.579545MHz> port 0x408-0x40b on acpi0 k: cpu0: on acpi0 k: acpi_perf0: on cpu0 k: acpi_throttle0: on cpu0 k: acpi_button0: on acpi0 k: acpi_button1: on acpi0 k: pcib0: port 0xcf8-0xcff on acpi0 k: pci_link2: BIOS IRQ 5 for 0.16.INTC is invalid k: pci_link2: BIOS IRQ 5 for 0.17.INTC is invalid k: pci0: on pcib0 k: pcib1: at device 1.0 on pci0 k: pci1: on pcib1 k: pci1: at device 0.0 (no driver attached) k: atapci0: port 0xfc00-0xfc07,0xf800-0xf803,0xf400-0xf407,0xf000-0xf003,0xec00-0xec0f,0xe800-0xe8ff irq 11 at device 15.0 on pci0 k: ata2: on atapci0 k: ata3: on atapci0 k: atapci1: port 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6,0x170-0x177,0x376,0xe400-0xe40f at device 15.1 on pci0 k: ata0: on atapci1 k: ata1: on atapci1 k: uhci0: port 0xe000-0xe01f irq 10 at device 16.0 on pci0 k: uhci0: [GIANT-LOCKED] k: usb0: on uhci0 k: usb0: USB revision 1.0 k: uhub0: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 k: uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered k: uhci1: port 0xdc00-0xdc1f irq 10 at device 16.1 on pci0 k: uhci1: [GIANT-LOCKED] k: usb1: on uhci1 k: usb1: USB revision 1.0 k: uhub1: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 k: uhub1: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered k: uhci2: port 0xd800-0xd81f irq 11 at device 16.2 on pci0 k: uhci2: [GIANT-LOCKED] k: usb2: on uhci2 k: usb2: USB revision 1.0 k: uhub2: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 k: uhub2: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered k: uhci3: port 0xd400-0xd41f irq 11 at device 16.3 on pci0 k: uhci3: [GIANT-LOCKED] k: usb3: on uhci3 k: usb3: USB revision 1.0 k: uhub3: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 k: uhub3: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered k: ehci0: mem 0xfdfff000-0xfdfff0ff irq 9 at device 16.4 on pci0 k: ehci0: [GIANT-LOCKED] k: usb4: EHCI version 1.0 k: usb4: companion controllers, 2 ports each: usb0 usb1 usb2 usb3 k: usb4: on ehci0 k: usb4: USB revision 2.0 k: uhub4: VIA EHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 1 k: uhub4: 8 ports with 8 removable, self powered k: isab0: at device 17.0 on pci0 k: isa0: on isab0 k: pcm0: port 0xd000-0xd0ff irq 9 at device 17.5 on pci0 k: pcm0: k: pcm0: k: vr0: port 0xc800-0xc8ff mem 0xfdffe000-0xfdffe0ff irq 10 at device 18.0 on pci0 k: miibus0: on vr0 k: ukphy0: on miibus0 k: ukphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto k: vr0: Ethernet address: 00:40:63:e6:41:ba k: sio0: <16550A-compatible COM port> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on acpi0 k: sio0: type 16550A k: ppc0: port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on acpi0 k: ppc0: Generic chipset (EPP/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode k: ppbus0: on ppc0 k: plip0: on ppbus0 k: lpt0: on ppbus0 k: lpt0: Interrupt-driven port k: ppi0: on ppbus0 k: atkbdc0: port 0x60,0x64 irq 1 on acpi0 k: atkbd0: irq 1 on atkbdc0 k: kbd0 at atkbd0 k: atkbd0: [GIANT-LOCKED] k: psm0: irq 12 on atkbdc0 k: psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED] k: psm0: model IntelliMouse Explorer, device ID 4 k: pmtimer0 on isa0 k: sc0: at flags 0x100 on isa0 k: sc0: VGA <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x300> k: sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 k: sio1: port may not be enabled k: vga0: at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa0000-0xbffff on isa0 k: Timecounter "TSC" frequency 998508102 Hz quality 800 k: Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec k: ad0: 19541MB at ata0-master UDMA100 k: acd0: DVDR at ata1-slave UDMA33 k: Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
