It comes highly recommended, but I have some severe problems with the timekeeping: it seems that the BIOS does not allow me to disable APM, and the 8254 timekeeping goes crazy, running up to 10 times as fast as real time. Does anybody else have one of these boards? Have you seen the problem? (How) did you fix it? If not, does anybody know the incantations to disable the APM during system startup? If so, I'll play around with it myself. I'm attaching the dmesg output in case it's of any use. Greg Copyright (c) 1992-2000 The FreeBSD Project.
