Situation: This is a new install of 5=2E2 ISO from ftp=2Efreebsd=2Eorg=2E (install we= nt fine, etc, everything is up and running well,=2E=2E=2E but) Everything runs fine for about an hour and a half then everything freezes = ( doesnt recognize keyboard, mouse, anything etc ) and i have to do a cold reboot ( ouch! )=2E This is in console or in X=2E (I experienced similiar problems trying to= run linux on this box, it would get kernel panics, only cold reboot would release it=2E) I do believe this to be related to ACPI but have no proof=2E= (i would love to be able to provide more diagnostics or log output but there is no output to include, when the system comes back up, all it knows= is that it was shutdown improperly) (I hear the processor fan speed increase alot too, like when i'm compiling= from source, it's almost like something is overworking the processor and wont release it)(side note, i use usb and a kvm switch, i don't think that's related though, it seems to work fine)=20 This is a relatively new machine but i have seen other posters running similiar, so it should run freebsd fine=2E Asus Motherboard for AMD Athlon/XP/Duron Processors, Model# A7N8X Deluxe Chipset: NVIDIA nForce2 SPP, nForce2 MCP-T=20 AMD Athlon XP 2200+, 266 MHz FSB, 256K Cache Processor 512MB RAM (Geil)=2E I have learned quite a bit by searching the lists which helped the APCI problems etc=2E 5=2E2 wont boot 'regular (choice 1)' unless you disable parallel port in bios=2E ( boot process will just hang on Timer miliseconds display output,= =2E=2E=2E sorry not with the box, don't remember the exact output )=2E also, i found this: > However, I managed to work around these freezes by removing the two > SMP-related lines from my kernel configuration: > > options SMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel > device apic # I/O APIC so, i will try that tonight=2E I am hoping someone with a similiar set-up (these are very popular modern componets) can share experiances or a bios set up or kernel config, or other information=2E I really want to run freebsd on this box=2E thanks for your time=2E -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web=2Ecom/ =2E
