Spatz" To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Natoma PPRO freezes with 2.1.6R. CC: hardware@freebsd.org Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi. I just unpacked a SuperMicro P6DNF (Natoma, 440FX) with 1 PPRO 180Mhz CPU, 64M EDO RAM, 2940UW SCSI, SMC8432BTA ethernet. I installed 2.1.6R and began to compile a custom kernel. At various stages -- either during "make depend" or "make" -- the system simply freezes. No errors on the console or in /var/log/messages. Is there a problem with this motherboard or with Natoma/440FX boards? I'm surprised FreeBSD is crashing so hard. I have 2.1.5R running fine on an Intel board with a P133 and an ASUS with an AMD-586-133. Any help out there? Anyone running 2.1.6R on similar hardware? Please email directly and I'll summarize back to the list. Regards. -- Bradley C. Spatz http://www.afn.org/~bcs/ bcs@afn.org
