I'm trying to run FreeBSD 5.3 on a Via EPIA ME-6000, but there are still a couple of things that don't work. First. The PXE loading process is quite slow because it gets stuck for a half a minute here and there while loading the KLD modules. No network activity while the rotating bar on the screen freezes. I tried to work around this problem compiling a monolithic kernel, but still the PXE has to load at least three files (acpi.ko, loader.conf, kernel), giving the chance to delay the boot. I don't know if this is a problem related to the PXE rom or to pxeboot. The second problem is the sound. The device is recognised and the via8233 driver is properly loaded; 12 dsp devices appear in /dev (dsp0.[0-5] and dspW0.[0-5]) and the user programs work as nothing was wrong, unfortunately no sound is produced. Is there anyone who has succeeded to run FreeBSD on one of these cute Mini-ITX? -- walter pelissero http://www.pelissero.de
