Whats the reasoning for a major chipset used by supermicro and Tyan not being supported after years of deployment? This isn't some obscure chipset we have here. This effects a major pct of opteron systems deployed worldwide. I don't see how Freebsd 7 can be released without this being fixed. It would be a major black eye to the project to say "FreeBSD 7 is released, but BTW, if you have a supermicro or tyan opteron system it won't work at all". Someone was complaining 2 years ago that they didn't have hardware to do the work. Is the FreeBSD project really so poorly funded that they can't get their hands on a $150 motherboard for 2 years?
