I tried updating the BIOS on my K8WE (S2895) yesterday to 1.03, but after the update, FreeBSD (RELENG_6 dated March 26) would randomly freeze after booting.
As I was updating from v1.01, I suspect it may be the updates to the nVidia SATA firmware that caused the issue, as things generally froze shortly after the background fsck processed kicked in (with, obviously, the exception of the first boot, and a few others). It may be worth noting that Windows, though booting fine, did complain that the ATA driver was mis-matched for the firmware of the ATA controller. Is anyone else successfully running -STABLE with v1.03 on a K8WE? Just wondering if this is something specific to the options I've chosen, or if it's an interaction issue between FreeBSD and this BIOS revision. (No, I haven't tried just going to 1.02, as I needed the machine. Though that should be a fairly good test to narrow down what the problem is.) - Damian _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
