Re: Asus P4S800D-E Deluxe
I've noticed that many newer Asus boards have ACPI problems with FreeBSD. Its a shame because i have always bought asus boards since I learned of them.

Asus P4S800D-E Deluxe
Hello, Does anyone know how well this motherboard works under FreeBSD 5.2.1? I currently have an Asus P4C800 Deluxe which is okay - until I turn off ACPI and then I get a Fatal trap 9: general protection fault while is kernel mode while booting. I need to be able to turn off ACPI as the nvidia driver doesn't work with it on. The P4S800D-E Deluxe is very similar is features to the P4C800 Deluxe and I want to make sure that it doesn't suffer from the same problem before I buy it. I don't think it should as from what I've read the problem is with the Intel 845/865/875 chipsets, whereas the P4S800D-E Deluxe uses the SiS 655TX chipset.

FWIW, the -E board has a better NIC (Intel based, using em driver) and the RAID support is great using the Promise PDC20378 SATA150 controller for FreeBSD. I use the Intel ICH5R RAID for Windows RAID support. -- Regards, Doug ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
