I own a Asus A7V133 motherboard with vt82c686b South Bridge. FreeBSD has some problems booting on this motherboard, frequently freezing during the boot up. Sometimes it boots with some error messages regarding the ATA system. No errors occurs when the onboard ATA is disabled. Therefore, and I'm sure, it's a problem related to the chipset's ATA. The Promise controller has nothing to do with this and works very well. I'm planning to buy a ASUS A7VL-VM for a low-cost server. I'm just worried how would FreeBSD behave with this chipset. My concern is: how many of you are running FreeBSD fine with Asus A7V133, A7VL-VM or similar motherboards with VT82C686B? Thank you.
