I'm tying to install FreeBSD amd64 on a system with the following configura= tion: - CPU: AMD Phenon X4 9550 - Motherboard: DFI LanParty DK 790FX-M2RS - AMD 790FX + SB600 (Award BIOS / "AWRDACPI") - Memory: 4Gb - Video board: ATI Radeon 3870 Booting the installation CD-ROM works fine for FreeBSD 6.9, but it panics with an "AP #1 (PHY# 1) failed!" error for 7.0, 7.1, 7.2 and 8.0-RC3. =A0If I boot with ACPI disabled, I get a lot of "unable to allocate IRQ" errors (for almost all of my devices), and it halts on "start_init: trying /stand/sysinstall". =A0With SMP disabled (kern.smp.disabled=3D1), it boots fine. Yesterday, I updated my motherboard's BIOS to the latest version available at DFI's website, and spent the morning playing with the BIOS setup options, but the result was always the same. I posted a "complete report" (including the full output of boot messages - with and without ACPI enabled) at FreeBSD's Hardware Forum (http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=3D8565). I think this occurs because FreeBSD could not start the other cores of my CPU (function "start_ap" at "mp_machdep.c"). Does somebody have any clue about this issue? =A0Is there something else I could try? =A0I like FreeBSD a lot, and I'm really looking forward to have FreeBSD running on this machine! :) Thanks a lot!! cheers, Rodolfo
