Asus V2-M3N8200 - FreeBSD
Hardware info on main page.
This machine runs the amd64 version of FreeBSD.
The first sata hard drive (ad4) is sliced up as follows:
slice 1 - 116 GB - a FreeBSD install (currently RELENG_7) slice 2 - 116 GB - a FreeBSD install - RELENG_8 - currently 8.3-stable slice 3 - 112 GB - NetBSD (currently 5.0 BETA) slice 4 - 121 GB - Xubuntu (currently 8.10)
Because of Xubuntu, grub is used as the main bootloader.

2013-07-15: v7-as-v2 - slice 2 - after the latest upgrade of perl, the perl-after-upgrade script is gone. Now I have to do:
root@kg-v2# portupgrade -rf lang/perl5.12
which takes forever, updates a lot of non perl stuff - generally a much poorer solution, INMNSHO. Fallout:

2013-07-14: v7-as-v2 - slice 2 - updating ports again, using portsnap fetch; portsnap update.
2013-05-27: v7-as-v2 - slice 2 - this morning the machine had rebooted. No reason found in logs or otherwise.
2013-05-11: v7-as-v2 - slice 2 - today I got these in /var/log/messages:
May 11 09:13:36 kg-v2 kernel: kern.maxfiles limit exceeded by uid 1001, please see tuning(7).

I didn't find out why, in the end I just quit XFce / Xorg and started it again. After a fresh start of Xfce and all programs I normally have open on my workstation, the files situation is like this:
tingo@kg-v2$ sysctl kern.maxfiles kern.maxfiles: 12328 tingo@kg-v2$ sysctl kern.openfiles kern.openfiles: 7736 tingo@kg-v2$ expr 12328 - 7736 4592
That's it.

2013-04-19: ada0p2 - after fixing /etc/X11/xorg.conf_nvidia (and linking it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf), i did 'startx'. In /var/log/Xorg.0.log I get this:

and my monitor is happy :-) xrandr report:

and this time it is correct.
2013-04-19: ada0p2 - install the nvidia-driver:
root@kg-v7# pv nvid* nvidia-driver-304.64 = up-to-date with port
this also install a couple of other ports:
root@kg-v7# pv rpm* linux_bas* linux_base-f10-10_5 = up-to-date with port rpm-3.0.6_15 = up-to-date with port
Ok, now set up and test.
2013-04-19: ada0p2 - preparing to install the nvidia-driver, enable the linux kernel module:
root@kg-v7# grep linux /etc/rc.conf # enable linux kernel module linux_enable="YES"
and
root@kg-v7# kldload linux root@kg-v7# kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 12 0xffffffff80200000 133a770 kernel 2 1 0xffffffff8153b000 2a20 coretemp.ko 3 1 0xffffffff8153e000 29a0 aibs.ko 4 1 0xffffffff81612000 aa23 fuse.ko 5 1 0xffffffff8161d000 1f459 linux.ko
Done.
2013-04-14: ada0p2 - Xorg, funny, Xorg says that it is running in 1920x1080:
tingo@kg-v7$ DISPLAY=:0.0 xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 1920 x 1920 VGA0 connected 1920x1080+0+0 531mm x 298mm 1920x1080 60.0*+ 60.0 1680x1050 60.0 1600x900 60.0 1280x1024 75.0 60.0 1280x800 59.8 1152x864 75.0 1280x720 60.0 1024x768 75.0 60.0 832x624 74.6 800x600 75.0 60.3 640x480 75.0 59.9 720x400 70.1 DVI0 disconnected
But my monitor disagrees, the real mode is 1680x1050. When I check /var/log/Xorg.0.log, I find the gfx chip:

Hmm, the "virtual size" line looks suspicious.
2013-04-14: ada0p2 - Xorg - install the nv driver:

2013-04-14: ada0p2 - the temporary hard drive looks like this:

and the filesystem layout:

2013-04-14: well, it didn't boot, because I forgot to put the first boot stage onto the drive. Fix everything now:
root@kg-v7# gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr ada0 bootcode written to ada0 root@kg-v7# gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptboot -i 1 ada0
Try to boot again. Yes, that worked.
2013-04-14: slice 2 - using my temporary workstation (which is actually the v7 hardware with the v2 hard drive), I'm going to make a test hard drive for the v2 hardware. First I connect a WD 160 GB IDE / PATA hard drive, using a usb-to-ide/sata adapter (Deltaco SATA-61): It shows up like this in /var/log/messages:
Apr 14 17:26:12 kg-v2 kernel: ugen0.3: <JMicron> at usbus0 Apr 14 17:26:12 kg-v2 kernel: umass0: <MSC Bulk-Only Transfer> on usbus0 Apr 14 17:26:12 kg-v2 kernel: umass0: SCSI over Bulk-Only; quirks = 0x4000 Apr 14 17:26:12 kg-v2 kernel: umass0:0:0:-1: Attached to scbus0 Apr 14 17:26:12 kg-v2 kernel: da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 scbus0 target 0 lun 0 Apr 14 17:26:12 kg-v2 kernel: da0: <WDC WD16 00AVJB-63J5A0 > Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device Apr 14 17:26:12 kg-v2 kernel: da0: 40.000MB/s transfers Apr 14 17:26:12 kg-v2 kernel: da0: 152627MB (312581808 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 19457C) Apr 14 17:26:12 kg-v2 kernel: GEOM: da0s1: geometry does not match label (16h,63s != 255h,63s).

Apr 14 17:26:12 kg-v2 kernel: GEOM: da0s4: geometry does not match label (16h,63s != 255h,63s).
But it is marked "ready for reuse". This was the boot drive for the old "quiet" machine. Layout is like this:
root@kg-v2# ls /dev/da0* /dev/da0 /dev/da0s1b /dev/da0s1f /dev/da0s2d /dev/da0s3 /dev/da0s3e /dev/da0s1 /dev/da0s1d /dev/da0s2 /dev/da0s2e /dev/da0s3a /dev/da0s3f /dev/da0s1a /dev/da0s1e /dev/da0s2a /dev/da0s2f /dev/da0s3d /dev/da0s4
Nothing I need. Use gpart to delete old, and create new stuff:
root@kg-v2# gpart show -p da0 => 63 312581745 da0 MBR (149G) 63 78140097 da0s1 freebsd [active] (37G) 78140160 78140160 da0s2 freebsd (37G) 156280320 78140160 da0s3 freebsd (37G) 234420480 78156225 da0s4 freebsd (37G) 312576705 5103 - free - (2.5M)
Destroy it:
root@kg-v2# gpart destroy da0 gpart: Device busy root@kg-v2# gpart destroy -F da0 da0 destroyed
verify
root@kg-v2# gpart show da0 gpart: No such geom: da0.
OK, next create a gpart GPT:
root@kg-v2# gpart create -s GPT da0 da0 created root@kg-v2# gpart show da0 => 34 312581741 da0 GPT (149G) 34 312581741 - free - (149G)
Good. I need a freebsd-boot partition, a swap partition and at least one ufs partition:
root@kg-v2# gpart add -t freebsd-boot -s 64k da0 da0p1 added root@kg-v2# gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -s 37G da0 da0p2 added root@kg-v2# gpart add -t freebsd-swap -s 8G da0 da0p3 added
It all looks like this:
root@kg-v2# gpart show -p da0 => 34 312581741 da0 GPT (149G) 34 128 da0p1 freebsd-boot (64k) 162 77594624 da0p2 freebsd-ufs (37G) 77594786 16777216 da0p3 freebsd-swap (8.0G) 94372002 218209773 - free - (104G)
Next, put bootcode on the boot partition:
root@kg-v2# gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptboot -i 1 da0
Hmm, no indication that this worked? Oh well. Create a filesystem:
root@kg-v2# newfs -U /dev/da0p2 /dev/da0p2: 37888.0MB (77594624 sectors) block size 16384, fragment size 2048 using 207 cylinder groups of 183.72MB, 11758 blks, 23552 inodes. with soft updates super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at: 160, 376416, 752672, 1128928, 1505184, 1881440, 2257696, 2633952, 3010208, 3386464, 3762720, 4138976, 4515232, 4891488, 5267744, 5644000, 6020256, 6396512, 6772768, 7149024, 7525280, 7901536, 8277792, 8654048, 9030304, 9406560, 9782816, 10159072, 10535328, 10911584, 11287840, 11664096, 12040352, 12416608, 12792864, 13169120, 13545376, 13921632, 14297888, 14674144, 15050400, 15426656, 15802912, 16179168, 16555424, 16931680, 17307936, 17684192, 18060448, 18436704, 18812960, 19189216, 19565472, 19941728, 20317984, 20694240, 21070496, 21446752, 21823008, 22199264, 22575520, 22951776, 23328032, 23704288, 24080544, 24456800, 24833056, 25209312, 25585568, 25961824, 26338080, 26714336, 27090592, 27466848, 27843104, 28219360, 28595616, 28971872, 29348128, 29724384, 30100640, 30476896, 30853152, 31229408, 31605664, 31981920, 32358176, 32734432, 33110688, 33486944, 33863200, 34239456, 34615712, 34991968, 35368224, 35744480, 36120736, 36496992, 36873248, 37249504, 37625760, 38002016, 38378272, 38754528, 39130784, 39507040, 39883296, 40259552, 40635808, 41012064, 41388320, 41764576, 42140832, 42517088, 42893344, 43269600, 43645856, 44022112, 44398368, 44774624, 45150880, 45527136, 45903392, 46279648, 46655904, 47032160, 47408416, 47784672, 48160928, 48537184, 48913440, 49289696, 49665952, 50042208, 50418464, 50794720, 51170976, 51547232, 51923488, 52299744, 52676000, 53052256, 53428512, 53804768, 54181024, 54557280, 54933536, 55309792, 55686048, 56062304, 56438560, 56814816, 57191072, 57567328, 57943584, 58319840, 58696096, 59072352, 59448608, 59824864, 60201120, 60577376, 60953632, 61329888, 61706144, 62082400, 62458656, 62834912, 63211168, 63587424, 63963680, 64339936, 64716192, 65092448, 65468704, 65844960, 66221216, 66597472, 66973728, 67349984, 67726240, 68102496, 68478752, 68855008, 69231264, 69607520, 69983776, 70360032, 70736288, 71112544, 71488800, 71865056, 72241312, 72617568, 72993824, 73370080, 73746336, 74122592, 74498848, 74875104, 75251360, 75627616, 76003872, 76380128, 76756384, 77132640, 77508896
Next, mount the source:
root@kg-v2# mount /dev/ad6p2 /mnt
mount the destination:
root@kg-v2# mount /dev/da0p2 /media
copy contents (yes, I know this is not the recommended way):
root@kg-v2# cd /mnt root@kg-v2# find . | cpio -pdumv /media [...] /media/./COPYRIGHT /media/./home /media/./entropy /media/./.sujournal 11656106 blocks
The only remaining thing is to umount, install in the v2 hardware and test.
2013-03-30: slice 2 - updating ports again, using portsnap fetch; portsnap update.
2013-03-30: slice 2 - currently using the v7 machine with the gfx-card and hard drive from this one (v2), since it stopped working today. dmesg output: normal. Still running 8.2-stable:

Fixes needed: the network card is re0, not nfe0. /etc/rc.conf updated accordingly: ifconfig_re0="DHCP" I created a new xorg.conf:

I also had to remove the ~/.cache directory of my user (I renamed it, and made a new one), because xfce4 was crashing all the time before I did that. That's it.
2013-03-09: slice 2 - updating ports again, using portsnap fetch; portsnap update.
2013-02-25: slice 2 - I followed /usr/ports/UPDATING entry 20121211 about devel/pcre, and did a portupgrade -fr devel/pcre (which took several days), the result was:

I hope this will fix the problems I have with sshfs doing a core dump when I connect to other servers.
2013-01-17: slice 2 - I switched from acpi_aiboost(4) to aibs(4) - it is a newer version - by replacing the acpi_aiboost_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf with this one:
aibs_load="YES"

That's all.
2012-12-30: slice 2 - I switched to portsnap for getting ports onto this machine. First portsnap fetch, then portsnap extract.

I renamed the current ports directory before I did the extract.
2012-12-08: slice 2 - suddenly, sshfs crashes when I am copying files. No core dumps. From/var/log/messages:
Dec 8 14:04:32 kg-v2 kernel: pid 25378 (sshfs), uid 1001: exited on signal 11 Dec 8 14:13:40 kg-v2 kernel: pid 25533 (sshfs), uid 1001: exited on signal 11 Dec 8 14:13:58 kg-v2 kernel: pid 25558 (sshfs), uid 1001: exited on signal 10
Other programs don't crash, so I don't think it is bad RAM.
2012-10-01: slice 2 - this machine has a built-in card reader. Can I "reboot" that reader using power_off / power_on? Without ill side-effects (like the machine hanging)? The reader:
root@kg-v2# usbconfig -u 1 -a 2 ugen1.2: <USB 2.0 Reader Generic> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON
Try to power it off:
root@kg-v2# usbconfig -u 1 -a 2 power_off root@kg-v2# usbconfig -u 1 -a 2 ugen1.2: <USB 2.0 Reader Generic> at usbus1, cfg=255 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=OFF
Ok, looks like that worked. Now, try to power it on again, and see what happens:
root@kg-v2# usbconfig -u 1 -a 2 power_on root@kg-v2# usbconfig -u 1 -a 2 ugen1.2: <USB 2.0 Reader Generic> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON
Looks like that worked too. Now, check /var/log/messages:
Oct 1 22:45:32 kg-v2 kernel: da1 at umass-sim0 bus 0 scbus0 target 0 lun 1 Oct 1 22:45:32 kg-v2 kernel: da1: <Generic 2.0 Reader -1 1.00> Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device Oct 1 22:45:32 kg-v2 kernel: da1: 40.000MB/s transfers Oct 1 22:45:32 kg-v2 kernel: da1: 7580MB (15523840 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 966C)
Ok, the 8 GB microSD card (in a SDcard adapter) seems to be detected:
root@kg-v2# ls /dev/da1* /dev/da1 /dev/da1s1
Cool. Check the partition:
root@kg-v2# disktype /dev/da1 --- /dev/da1 Character device, size 7.402 GiB (7948206080 bytes) DOS/MBR partition map Partition 1: 7.398 GiB (7944011776 bytes, 15515648 sectors from 8192) Type 0x0B (Win95 FAT32) FAT32 file system (hints score 4 of 5) Volume size 7.395 GiB (7939817472 bytes, 242304 clusters of 32 KiB) root@kg-v2# disktype /dev/da1s1 --- /dev/da1s1 Character device, size 7.398 GiB (7944011776 bytes) FAT32 file system (hints score 4 of 5) Volume size 7.395 GiB (7939817472 bytes, 242304 clusters of 32 KiB)
Hmm, let's try to mount it, see if there is anything on it:
root@kg-v2# mount -t msdosfs /dev/da1s1 /media root@kg-v2# df -h /media Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da1s1 7.4G 96k 7.4G 0% /media root@kg-v2# ls -la /media total 34 drwxrwxr-x 1 root wheel 32768 Dec 31 1979 . drwxr-xr-x 20 root wheel 512 Sep 21 16:37 ..
Nope - empty.
root@kg-v2# umount /media
That's it.
2012-08-19: I upgraded ports. New stuff: Opera 12.01, xfce4-netload-plugin 1.2.0.
2012-06-17: slice 2 - adding a few things for my usb-based cd / dvd burner. In /etc/devfs.conf:
link cd0 cdrom
in /etc/devfs.rules:
add path 'cd*' mode 0660 add path 'cd*' group operator
That's it.
2012-05-28: slice 2 - after the upgrade, I forgot to disable the built-in lp* commands. Fixing that now:
root@kg-v2# ls -l /usr/bin/lp* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2747 Apr 28 00:30 /usr/bin/lp -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2747 Jul 17 2011 /usr/bin/lp.bsd -r-sr-sr-x 1 root daemon 34264 Apr 28 00:30 /usr/bin/lpq -r-sr-sr-x 1 root daemon 34288 Jul 17 2011 /usr/bin/lpq.bsd -r-sr-sr-x 1 root daemon 38296 Apr 28 00:30 /usr/bin/lpr -r-sr-sr-x 1 root daemon 38320 Jul 17 2011 /usr/bin/lpr.bsd -r-sr-sr-x 1 root daemon 30280 Apr 28 00:30 /usr/bin/lprm -r-sr-sr-x 1 root daemon 30304 Jul 17 2011 /usr/bin/lprm.bsd
remove the old ones:
root@kg-v2# rm /usr/bin/lp.bsd /usr/bin/lpq.bsd /usr/bin/lpr.bsd /usr/bin/lprm.bsd
and rename the new ones:
root@kg-v2# mv /usr/bin/lp /usr/bin/lp.bsd; mv /usr/bin/lpq /usr/bin/lpq.bsd; mv /usr/bin/lpr /usr/bin/lpr.bsd; mv /usr/bin/lprm /usr/bin/lprm.bsd
Verify:
root@kg-v2# ls -l /usr/bin/lp* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2747 Apr 28 00:30 /usr/bin/lp.bsd -r-sr-sr-x 1 root daemon 34264 Apr 28 00:30 /usr/bin/lpq.bsd -r-sr-sr-x 1 root daemon 38296 Apr 28 00:30 /usr/bin/lpr.bsd -r-sr-sr-x 1 root daemon 30280 Apr 28 00:30 /usr/bin/lprm.bsd
All done.
2012-04-27: slice 2 - upgraded to FreeBSD 8.3-stable via csup / make world. dmesg output: normal, verbose (part 1, part 2):
tingo@kg-v2$ uname -a FreeBSD kg-v2.kg4.no 8.3-STABLE FreeBSD 8.3-STABLE #6: Fri Apr 27 23:50:55 CEST 2012 root@kg-v2.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
After the build, I rebuilt a few ports: cuse4bsd-kmod, fusefs-kmod, virtualbox-ose-kmod. That's all.
2012-04-06: slice 2 - upgraded to FreeBSD 8.3-prerelease via csup / make world. dmesg output: normal, verbose (part 1, part 2).
tingo@kg-v2$ uname -a FreeBSD kg-v2.kg4.no 8.3-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 8.3-PRERELEASE #5: Fri Apr 6 21:35:20 CEST 2012 root@kg-v2.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
That's it.
2011-07-18: slice 2 - the port umcs7840-kmod would not build on FreeBSD 8.2-stable, due to some ABI change. But the umcs(4) kernel module is included in the base os now, so I'm all set, just kldload umcs when I need to use the 4-port serial adapter. Cool!
2011-07-17: slice 2 - I upgraded to Xfce 4.8. After the upgrade I had to reinstall the sysutils/garcon port, in order for the Xfce menu to work.
2011-07-16: slice 2 - upgraded to FreeBSD 8.2-stable via csup, make world. dmesg output: normal, verbose (part 1, part 2). Rebuilt the following ports: cuse4bsd-kmod, fusefs-kmod, virtualbox-ose-kmod.
tingo@kg-v2$ uname -a FreeBSD kg-v2.kg4.no 8.2-STABLE FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE #4: Sat Jul 16 02:07:14 CEST 2011 root@kg-v2.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
2010-09-16: slice 2 - upgraded to FreeBSD 8.1-stable via csup. dmesg output: normal, verbose. Rebuilt the fusefs-kmod and cuse4bsd-kmod ports.
2010-04-11: slice 2 - upgraded to latest FreeBSD 8.0-stable via csup. dmesg output: normal, verbose.
2010-01-07: slice 2 - added the following to /boot/loader.conf:
tingo@kg-v2$ more /boot/loader.conf acpi_aiboost_load="YES" amdtemp_load="YES" #ichsmb_load="YES" snd_hda_load="YES"
ichsmb is commented out because it doesn't work anymore. Nor does nfsmb.
2010-01-06: slice 2 - quickly updated to latest FreeBSD 8.0-stable via csup; this is now my working environment. dmesg output: normal, verbose (part 1, part 2).
2010-01-06: slice 2 - upgraded to FreeBSD 8.0-release, using a cd (disc1). dmesg output: normal, verbose (part 1, part 2).
2009-10-31: slice 1 - output from lspci, lspci -v, pciconf -lv.
2009-10-31: slice 2 - upgraded to FreeBSD 8.0-RC2, using a cd (disc1). dmesg output: normal, verbose.
2009-10-30: slice 1 - upgraded to latest FreeBSD 7.2-stable. dmesg output: normal, verbose.
2009-07-18: slice 1 - upgraded to latest FreeBSD 7.2-stable. dmesg output: normal. No mergemaster issues this time. I also built a custom kernel (without the umass and ulpt devices) in order to use my printer with hplip..
2009-05-17: I found out that the acpi_aiboost module works on this machine. After loading, this shows up in /var/log/messages:
May 17 01:13:33 kg-v2 kernel: acpi_aiboost0: <ASUStek AIBOOSTER> on acpi0
and I get data with:
tingo@kg-v2$ sysctl dev.acpi_aiboost dev.acpi_aiboost.0.%desc: ASUStek AIBOOSTER dev.acpi_aiboost.0.%driver: acpi_aiboost dev.acpi_aiboost.0.%location: handle=\_SB_.PCI0.SBRG.ASOC dev.acpi_aiboost.0.%pnpinfo: _HID=ATK0110 _UID=16843024 dev.acpi_aiboost.0.%parent: acpi0 dev.acpi_aiboost.0.temp0: 410 dev.acpi_aiboost.0.temp1: 470 dev.acpi_aiboost.0.volt0: 1248 dev.acpi_aiboost.0.volt1: 3312 dev.acpi_aiboost.0.volt2: 5017 dev.acpi_aiboost.0.volt3: 11912 dev.acpi_aiboost.0.fan0: 2205 dev.acpi_aiboost.0.fan1: 0 dev.acpi_aiboost.0.fan2: 0
Very nice.
2009-05-10: slice 1 - upgraded to FreeBSD 7.2-stable. dmesg output: normal, verbose (part 1, part2). mergemaster overwrote my /etc/motd file, I had to restore it from backup.
2009-04-04: slice 1 - upgraded to FreeBSD 7.2-prerelease. dmesg output: normal, verbose (part 1, part 2). Note to self: do not use the '-F' option to mergemaster, it "upgrades" far more files than it should.
2009-02-01: slice 2 - I upgraded to latest FreeBSD 8.0-current (via csup). dmesg output: normal, verbose.
2009-01-31: disklabel backups: in case of emergency, I did disklabel slice > file.txt for the FreeBSD slices. disklabel backup for ad4s1, ad4s2.
2009-01-16: slice 1 - upgraded to latest FreeBSD 7.1-stable again. dmesg output normal, verbose (part 1, part 2).
2009-01-10: slice 1 - added a patch for snd_hda (from Alexander Motin, on the freebsd-mobile mailinglist) to not cross mix some channels. With the patch, dmesg output from snd_hda looks a bit different: output.
2009-01-09: slice 1 - I upgraded to latest FreeBSD 7.1-stable again. This has a new snd_hda version. dmesg output: normal, verbose (part 1, part 2). I noticed that the buffer couldn't hold all lines when I loaded snd_hda, so the output from snd_hda is in "part 2".. 'cat /dv/sndstat' now shows:
root@kg-v2# cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 64bit 2007061600/amd64) Installed devices: pcm0: <HDA VIA VT1708B_1 PCM #0 Analog> at cad 0 nid 1 on hdac0 kld snd_hda [MPSAFE] (1p:1v/1r:1v channels duplex default) pcm1: <HDA VIA VT1708B_1 PCM #1 Digital> at cad 0 nid 1 on hdac0 kld snd_hda [MPSAFE] (1p:1v/0r:0v channels) pcm2: <HDA NVidia (Unknown) PCM #0 Digital> at cad 3 nid 1 on hdac0 kld snd_hda [MPSAFE] (1p:1v/0r:0v channels)
2009-01-07: slice 1 - I added the drm-patch from here and built a new kernel. dmesg output: normal, verbose.
2009-01-06: slice 1 - I upgraded to FreeBSD 7.1-stable. dmesg output: normal, verbose.
2009-01-02: I had a nVidia GeForce 8500 GT gfx card laying about, so I added that. At least the Xorg 'nv' driver detects it and uses it. Is it any better than using the 'vesa' driver? I don't know.
2009-01-02: I changed SATA mode in BIOS from 'SATA' to 'AHCI'. Now the ata parts are detected like this:
root@kg-v2# dmesg | grep ata atapci0: <nVidia nForce MCP77 UDMA133 controller> port 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6,0x170-0x177,0x376,0xffa0-0xffaf at device 6.0 on pci0 ata0: <ATA channel 0> on atapci0 ata0: [ITHREAD] ata1: <ATA channel 1> on atapci0 ata1: [ITHREAD] atapci1: <nVidia AHCI controller> port 0xd480-0xd487,0xd400-0xd403,0xd080-0xd087,0xd000-0xd003,0xcc00-0xcc0f mem 0xfcf76000-0xfcf77fff irq 23 at device 9.0 on pci0 atapci1: [ITHREAD] atapci1: AHCI Version 01.20 controller with 6 ports detected ata2: <ATA channel 0> on atapci1 ata2: [ITHREAD] ata3: <ATA channel 1> on atapci1 ata3: [ITHREAD] ata4: <ATA channel 2> on atapci1 ata4: [ITHREAD] ata5: <ATA channel 3> on atapci1 ata5: [ITHREAD] ata6: <ATA channel 4> on atapci1 ata6: [ITHREAD] ata7: <ATA channel 5> on atapci1 ata7: [ITHREAD] ad4: 476940MB <SAMSUNG HD501LJ CR100-13> at ata2-master SATA300
Obviously, the UDMA133 controller hasn't changed.
2009-01-01: slice 2: I installed the 200812 snapshot of FreeBSD 8.0-current. dmesg output: normal, verbose.
2008-12-26: slice 1: output from pciconf -lv, lspci and lspci -v.
2008-12-26: slice 1: with Alexander Motin's latest snd_hda UAA patch, I get this in /var/log/messages:
