Running FreeBSD 8.3 -- and updating sources on a daily base and building everything -- I found a new APIC/ACPI problem introduced in the past week. I have a Toshiba Satellite U205 with an Intel Core Duo (not a Core 2). It used to work fine with both cores but then sometime in on the road to BSD 8.0 the machine began hanging. So I added to /boot/loader.conf hint.apic.0.disabled="1"

I'm running a few servers sitting on top of a NetAPP file server ? everything runs great, but periodically I'm getting: nfs_getpages: error 13 vm_fault: pager read error, pid 11355 (https) errors on my screen ? not always same pid ? the annoying part is that it seems to always affect the same jail that is running .. if I shutdown all jails on that physical server, everything shuts down

...clock code. - APM driver updated for the above changes (includes syncing with -CURRENT) There should be no regression in APM functionality. If there is, please let myself and re@ know. Working APM in 4.9-RELEASE is more important than experimental ACPI support.

Working on the Dell R420 today, got most of it working, even the broadcom ethernet cards!

I'm trying to upgrade an 11 month old FreeBSD 7 image in a VMware 4.5.2 guest to an up-to-date -stable and it panics as above. I've added a printf to report the two counts and there's a difference of one page. I don't have any problems with the old 7-stable image or up-to-date 6-stable or -current using the same VMware version. A screendump for a verbose boot can be found at

Hi Yonghyeon and All, >From time to time I use a notebook and boot FreeBSD from USB stick. FreeBSD 9.2-i386 works OK. So I tried to use FreeBSD 10.0-i386 BETA2 and the network adapter works for some 10-15 seconds and then stops with diagnostic message "msk0:watchdog timeout". I've found similar case at freebsd-current@ with no workaround. Yes, there is an interrupt storm as well.

I upgraded my 7.0 system to 7.1-RELEASE with freebsd-update only to find that it no longer boots correctly, instead crashing with a BTX backtrace. If I break to the loader prompt and use 'ls /boot', I also get a backtrace. A new install of 7.1 on this hardware using a separate SCSI card and drive array also leads to a BTX backtrace. I have copied this below as the first (most

Hi, How can I load the alpm(4) module for SMBus support on my ASUS Vintage AH-1 system? It appears the I/O range it uses is claimed by the acpi(4) driver. Can I override the mapping in some way i.e. tell ACPI not to claim the range? I don't see anything obvious about this in the acpi(4) man page. thanks, BMS

Hi all, A recent thread inspired me to try getting a proper serial console working on a Supermicro X9SCL motherboard with IPMI. However I find that while I see loader messages and the getty I enabled after boot I don't get any kernel messages which does somewhat limit the utility.. The BMC creates COM3 (/dev/cuau2) which works with getty. I modified /boot/loader.conf like so..

I'm getting the following warning, and then the system locks: ACPI Warning: Incorrect checksum in table [(bunch of spaces)] - 0x29, should be 0x48 Here's a pic: http://db.tt/O6dxONzI System is on a SuperMicro C7X58 motherboard that I just upgraded to BIOS 2.0a, which I would like to stay on if possible. I tried adjusting all the ACPI related BIOS settings without success. Bryce

Hello, I have a problem with loader. I recently upgraded from 6_rel to 7_rel. Now when I install world there is a problem booting.

After boot I install the new world: cd /usr/src mergemaster -p reboot into single user mode cd /usr/src make
