Re: [pfSense Support] 440BX Chipset

2009-04-26 Thread Pete Boyd
 Is anyone using pfSense on a motherboard with the 440BX chipset?

 Does your CPU use drop to zero?  A bug is suspected with this chipset and
 FreeBSD.

This is with pfSense 1.2.2:

# dmesg | grep BX
agp0: Intel 82443BX (440 BX) host to PCI bridge on hostb0

# /sbin/sysctl -n kern.cp_time
17989 175578 582310 281810 55059119

Thanks Pete
Maybe its not the chipset that's the problem.
Which image are you running?  HHD? Embedded?
Kind regards
David

[pfSense Support] 440BX Chipset

2009-04-24 Thread Tortise
Is anyone using pfSense on a motherboard with the 440BX chipset?  

Does your CPU use drop to zero?  A bug is suspected with this chipset and 
FreeBSD.

The bug is evident when running 

/sbin/sysctl -n kern.cp_time

successively from the command prompt reports the same non-incrementing numbers.

Positive and negative reports would be appreciated.

Kind regards
David

Interesting thanks Jim, 

I note for me it is 440 BX and not 440BX!:

pfSense:~#  dmesg | grep 440
pcib0: Intel 82443BX (440 BX) host to PCI bridge pcibus 0 on motherboard

Kind regards
David

NB: This is a dual CPU Intel LG440BX board with 2xPIII-800. The consumer
version may behave differently, but I don't believe I still have any of
those in place anywhere.
