While installing FreeBSD on my new & shiny A7N8X-Deluxe I also ran into this problem. Enabling the APIC triggers an interrupt storm on IRQ's > 16. While -CURRENT at least boots (an older -CURRENT that I first tried to install hung after determining the TSC), it still is unusable over the network because the built-in xl0 keeps getting watchdog timeout's (it's at irq20). Disabling the APIC in the BIOS works around the problem (ACPI still enabled), but unfortunately Windows won't boot in that case :/ Boot logs, kernel config, mptable, vmstat at http://sandcat.nl/~stijn/freebsd/a7n8x-apic/ I fear for the worst considering the last line of mptable output, but I figured it would be wise to at least provide a data point. And as sos's signature so eloquently puts it, 'it works in windows!' :) :) Unfortunately the verbose boot logs got truncated at the top due to the "small" kernel ring buffer, and I don't have a serial cable handy. Maybe tomorrow, if it's needed. Just let me know if I can provide anything else also. --Stijn -- I really hate this damned machine I wish that they would sell it. It never does quite what I want But only what I tell it.
