Still honing in on these, my priorities have unfortunately been elsewhere of late. in any case: - Tyan Tomcat S3970-U w/1x Dual Core Opteron SMP OK with APIC_IO as well. HT1000 chipset, SATA seemed ok both in sata and in 'legacy' IDE mode, although I did have a strange filesystem corruption problem at one point.. not enough to go on of yet - machine was loaded via homebrew rconfig scripts using 'ftp |gunzip -f -| restore', which easily could have been the problem.. GigE ok via em(4). Didn't try non text graphics modes, but I suspect VESA stuffs should be ok. not much else on the board since it's a server, although I'm looking forward to investigating the new sensors port.. still need more benchmarks / stress tests, planning on these shortly, haven't really run the machine for more than a few hours at a time yet, but it boots. - Acer Ferrari 1000 w/ Turion 64 x2 SMP OK with APIC_IO off.. ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 chipset. At one point, I had some problems with NATA (and therefore using the drive in SATA mode), but this was about 1/2 way through the 1.8->1.10 release cycle, and I haven't had a chance to update this machine yet since I need to use it constantly. WMA, ACPI suspend, etc. was in a similar state (e.g. didn't work, but have been lots of positive improvements in tree since then). Overall, quite reliable for day to day user, and on-board bge works fine too. Haven't had a chance to try the new broadcom wireless driver. Will be updating this one soon as well - missing out on too much goodness :) Hopefully I'll have a chance to focus more on testing/digging into the various chips on these machines over the next few months as the project I'm working on is winding down.. fingers crossed. This brings up a question: any thoughts on a dmesg@ or similar ala [1] ? such a database might be useful.. I think I need to shut up and code more.. anyways - good luck.. - Chris ..
