The BIOS files are from http://tyan.com/support/html/b_s2891.html * dmesg -a after booting verbose for working BIOS : http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/amd64/OK_bios_2891v100.txt * dmesg -a after booting verbose new,not working BIOS : http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/amd64/NOT_OK_bios_2891_201.txt Is it worth submitting a PR for this? what information do you / anyone suggest is included in it? I'd love to be able to test more, but I can't keep this box offline any longer. cheers, Beto
