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
