Hi, I have a ASUS A7V333 motherboard. Thats a UP motherboard vith a VIA KT333 chipset and a AMD XP Processor.
There is a setting in BIOS where you can select "Interrupt Mode" between APIC an PIC, default APIC. What happends if i set options APIC_IO in the kernel config on a UP system with APIC set in BIOS? The rest is APIC/ACPI/KSE related if anyone is interested. I upgraded today (as of 30 min ago) to a current kernel from pre-KSE. When trying to boot with APIC set in BIOS i get: acpi0: <ASUS A7V333 > on motherboard Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0x16 fault code = supervisor read, page not present When setting PIC in Bios and doing a boot -v i get the following from ACPI: Jul 6 23:54:14 waraxe kernel: Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x662 Stepping = 2 Jul 6 23:54:14 waraxe kernel: Features=0x383fbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,MMX,FXSR,SSE> Jul 6 23:54:14 waraxe kernel: AMD Features=0xffffffffc0400000<AMIE,DSP,3DNow!> Jul 6 23:54:14 waraxe kernel: real memory = 536854528 (524272K bytes) Jul 6 23:54:14 waraxe kernel: avail memory = 515620864 (503536K bytes) Jul 6 23:54:14 waraxe kernel: pnpbios: Bad PnP BIOS data checksum Jul 6 23:54:14 waraxe kernel: Pentium Pro MTRR support enabled Jul 6 23:54:14 waraxe kernel: Using $PIR table, 11 entries at 0xc00f2050 Jul 6 23:54:14 waraxe kernel: ACPI-0222: *** Warning: Invalid table signature found: [T<C0><FF>^_] Jul 6 23:54:14 waraxe kernel: ACPI-0193: *** Error: AcpiLoadTables: Error getting required tables (DSDT/FADT/FACS): AE_BAD_SIGNATURE Jul 6 23:54:14 waraxe kernel: ACPI-0215: *** Error: AcpiLoadTables: Could not load tables: AE_BAD_SIGNATURE Jul 6 23:54:14 waraxe kernel: ACPI: table load failed: AE_BAD_SIGNATURE Jul 6 23:54:14 waraxe kernel: npx0: <math processor> on motherboard Jul 6 23:54:14 waraxe kernel: npx0: INT 16 interface In pre-KSE i could boot with APIC set in BIOS, but got hangs in shutdown after the "stopping vnlru"(?) message, _IF_ i had started X between boot and shutdown. If X was unused i got a clean shutdown. With PIC set ACPI wouldn't start but i had no problems with restarting. If anyone want's more information i will gladly help, but keep in mind that i'm not used to running the debugger and actually should't run Current :) /Johan To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
