I have a S2460 Tyan Tiger motherboard, with dual AMD 1700 XP+ processors, 512 MB ecc RAM, a 40 GB western digital ata 100 and a 30 GB western digital ata 100. The video card is an el-cheapo GeForce2 MX and the sound card is a sound blaster live! 5.1. The network card is an Intel EtherPro something or other. This system in its entirity works perfectly under Windows. Both CPUs are functioning properly it seems. However, when I installed FreeBSD onto either drive, the entire system hard locks at random times. What is a hard lock? Well, I can't type anything in, I can't telnet or ssh in and I sure as heck can't figure out why it crashed. I have the same problems using SuSE 7.3 Linux. I tried changing the MP spec in the BIOS from 1.4 to 1.1 compatibility, but it still hard locked. I was able to compile a 4.4 Stable kernel and boot into that, but soon after it hard locked just the same. One fellow suggested flashing the BIOS. Another suggested replacing the power supply-- my question is: Why does it work perfect under Windows if its a hardware problem? If anyone has had any kind of success with this motherboard I would like to know. -- Best regards, Rick mailto:bischoff@rickjr.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
