I just picked up an Asus A8N-VM CSM motherboard. It's a nForce 430 + GForge 6150 integrated mini-ATX job, amd64, very 1337 and new. That means trouble :) I knew that when buying it, and know now that it really needs work to get it working at all. FreeBSD 5.1-R amd64 boots just fine on the machine, so I do have _some_ tools for the machine. 6.0-R without ACPI hangs, and 6.0-R with ACPI craps out immediately with the following error: ACPI-0397: *** Error: NSSearchAndEnter: Bad character in ACPI Name: 43035350 ACPI-0381: *** Error: Looking up [0x43035350] (NON-ASCII) in namespace, AE_BAD_CHARACTER ACPI-0204: ACPI-0213: (not all error messages copied entirely). What's a good approach to dealing with this? My plan doesn't go much further than 1) Update to latest BIOS and then futz about. Suggestions? FWIW, I haven't found a Linux yet _either_ that boots and recognizes the devices on the board (2.6.15 seems more promising than 2.6.10, which fails with no NIC and no HDD drivers). [ade]
