I think you will also need to apply the skip_timer_override patch, available here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-amd64/2005-January/003320.html You will want to set the sysctl in loader.conf There's also a cradbus (PCI) patch, in addition. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-amd64/2005-January/003365.html There is another sysctl+patch that you will need to get as well. This one is for the APIC: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-amd64/2005-January/003376.html You'll also want to set hw.apic.skip_set_extint=1 in loader.conf as well to activate this one. I think both of these will enable the timer to actually work in freebsd. -- coleman kane On Thu, 10 Feb 2005 20:38:40 -0500, Nicolas Blais <nb_root@videotron.ca> wrote: > Hi, > > First I'd like give my thanks to Jung-uk Kim for making it possible to run > FreeBSD (5.3-STABLE) on my Compaq R3240CA.
