Re: FreeBSD/amd64 Project -- motherboards Call For Update
on 04/11/2010 20:41 Uffe Jakobsen said the following: Maybe a section on the wiki would be more suitable ? This could be on FreeBSD official wiki or offsite and not even in wiki format. But it would be great if somebody who finds such a list useful and who has necessary resources would create a site/page where experience with (various versions of) FreeBSD on various hardware could be shared. Things like searching by PCI IDs would be a great bonus. Perhaps something like http://hardware4linux.info/ Just an idea. -- Andriy Gapon ___ freebsd-amd64@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-amd64 To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-amd64-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Apart of that maybe some users will share their opinions with us on this mailing list, it can be very useful if you want update your hardware, sometimes dry informations (just like it is supported) are not enough, sometimes you need to know how does it work in real conditions. Folks i'm still waiting for YOU to speak out OK, I'll speak out. Today, the list is useless. When freebsd-amd64 was introduced years ago, it was a good idea to have a list of supported motherboards because well freebsd-amd64 was new. Today, there are simply too many motherboards to keep an accurate list. Not to mention that manufacturers are constantly dropping older model motherboards for the next latest and greatest design. MSI lists 20 different boards for AMD processors alone. Three of those boards have flashing new icons next to the model numbers. -- Steve ___ freebsd-amd64@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-amd64 To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-amd64-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Release Notes often lists hardware as supported, and it works, but not always as it should. I'd like to see your opinions, what and how good or bad works. FreeBSD should work on all recent amd64 hardware. If it doesn't, then it's bug. The list that you mentioned seems to be long time obsolete and unmaintained (note the release numbers and dates). If you have a particular piece of hardware in mind (CPU, chipset, motherboard, etc) it's better to just ask a concrete question. -- Andriy Gapon If FreeBSD should work on all recent amd64 hardware, then for the future, i'll stick with your advice ...concrete question... ___ freebsd-amd64@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-amd64 To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-amd64-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
