I do not know exactly about your model of system board, but I have FreeBSD/i386 6.0 and 6.1 running on a Tyan S5360, but only with a single CPU. When I did the first install of FreeBSD/amd64 6.0-RELEASE and then later FreeBSD/i386 6.0-RELEASE on this board, I had to do this in "safe mode", else it did not even boot completely. Afterwards I set the following two options in /boot/loader.conf to normaly boot: hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" hint.apic.0.disabled="1" After upgrading to FreeBSD/i386 6.1-RELEASE I could remove them and it is running fine. Did not try with FreeBSD/amd64 again, as the tool for the used ICP-Vortex RAID controller are only available for i386. About the interrupt storm, I guess it could be a problem with the on board parallel port or maybe the usb. I did try a few things and in the end I change or set the following setting in the BIOS: - Advanced Installed O/S: [Other] Reset Configuration Data: [Yes] Large Disk Access Mode: [Other] > Advanced Chipset Control Integrated USB 1.1: [Disabled] > I/O Device Configuration Parallel port: [Enabled] Legacy USB Support: [Disabled] And I also did change the following in my kernel config, beside disabling all the H/W and other options I don't have or need anyway: # Power management support (see NOTES for more options) #device apm # Add suspend/resume support for the i8254. device pmtimer # Parallel port device ppc device ppbus # Parallel port bus (required) device lpt # Printer #device plip # TCP/IP over parallel #device ppi # Parallel port interface device #device vpo # Requires scbus and da and also disabled all the USB stuff towards the end of the config file. Afterwards the problematic unknown IRQ11 was gone in the 'systat -vm 1' output. For using the second CPU on your board, I guess you need to build a kernel with SMP support. Informations are in /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/SMP. Hope this helps. bye Fabian
