Hello,

I'm planning to build a file server for my home.

I'm planning on using the B150 Intel chipset (specifically this MoBo: http://www.msi.com/product/motherboard/B150M-PRO-VDH.html#hero-overview)

This has Realtek RTL8111H Gigabit LAN controller, Does FreeBSD support this? (the man page for mentions support for 8111)

This is going to be a headless setup, hence I'm not concerned with lack of x11 support. (I'm assuming console works)

Does any one in the list have any experiences with this Chipset/Motherboard.

-Thanks in advance
Vijay

Hi,

I actually went ahead and bought the system. Here is my config

CPU: Intel I3-6100
Mobo: MSI B150M-PRO-VDH
NIC: RTL8111H (on-Board)
RAM: Hyperx DDR4 8 GB

I initially tried to use UEFI-10.2 Release image. But the system was repeatedly crashing just after the loader prompt... (PANICS) I tried installing with 10.2-Release (with BIOS).. But, NIC wasn't detected.

It seems the NIC driver was added around September' 15 to the FreeBSD tree in github ( https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/commit/c1d4644cbc1efd41f962e4979caf367c93d3c5f0 )

I tried installing with 11.0-Current ( Legacy BIOS boot ), NIC works. got it installed..

The only issue i have is that the boot process takes a lot of time.. (similar to https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/new-motherboard-and-processor-kernel-load-very-slow.53511/ ). the system ultimately boots, but boot times are around 4 - 5 Mins..

How do I debug it? any suggestions?

-Thanks
Vijay
