Repeating here to the larger group in hopes of some answers. TIA.) System: Intel D946GZIS MOBO w/ICH7 SATA-II support WDC WD2500JS-00NCB1 250G Hard Drive that claims to do 3G/s Pentium D @ 3.2GHz In addition to the on-board peripherals, the two available PCI slots have an Adaptec 2940 U/UW SCSI controller and a 3Com 3C901 card in them respectively. Running FBSD 6.2-STABLE as of yesterday. Kernel is SMP. I've run into a problem that makes no sense to me and I suspect is related to how SMP works (or, then again, maybe not): 1) When booting FBSD 6.2, right after the second CPU is started the system hangs for about 45 seconds and then proceeds normally. This happens with GENERIC-Release, SMP-Stable, and SMP-Release kernels. During this wait, the floppy goes active for some reason. It's as if the system is "hunting" for something. Other strange anomalies I've noted: 2) If I try to boot the 4.11-Release CD, it gets partway through the boot and then spits out: RTC BIOS diagnostic error 80 I've replaced the RTC battery and still get the same error. I get no such error with 6.2 3) Both the MOBO and drive are SATA-300 rated, but 6.2 insists that the drive is running at SATA-150. I have verified that the drive has no jumper forcing it into this mode. 4) I *cannot* get xorg 7.2 to work with the onboard video. If I configure it as a VESA video system, all is well. If I try to tell it that I am using i810 video, I get this: X Window System Version 7.2.0 Release Date: 22 January 2007 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.2 Build Operating System: FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE i386 Current Operating System: FreeBSD troll.tundraware.com 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #5: Sun Jun 3 00:42:36 CDT 2007 toor@troll.tundraware.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP i386 Build Date: 30 May 2007 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

Anyone have ideas on what is going on here? (I've DAGS and found nothing like this in the archives.) -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk tundra@tundraware.com PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/
