2010-12-20: slice 2 - I got some helpful advice on the freebsd-stable mailing list. The messages about xpt_config is related to firewire chipset / chips in the machine. Simply disabling the firewire controller (aka "1394 controller") in the bios allows the 7.4-BETA1 CD too boot, and I could install FreeBSD 7.4-BETA1. dmesg output: normal, verbose. Note: Afterward, I tried enabling the firewire controller again, and got the same problem. So it must be disabled for 7.4 to work (so far). Various modules to load in /boot/loader.conf, and their output in /var/log/messages: ichsmb:

End of it.

2010-12-19: slice 2 - a small correction: if I connect the Plextor usb drive, insert a FreeBSD 8.1-release (amd64) CD into it, and boot the machine from it, it works well. So it is something to do with the FreeBSD 7.4-BETA1 CD.

2010-12-19: slice 2 - I tried to install FreeBSD 7.4-BETA1 from a CD, using my external CD drive (Plextor). How easy it is to forget! This particular machine will not boot from this drive. After probing the usb-connected CD drive, it just spits out messages like these:

run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 60 seconds for xpt_config
run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 120 seconds for xpt_config
run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 180 seconds for xpt_config
run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 240 seconds for xpt_config

You get the idea. So I just made an image out of the FreeBSD-7.4-BETA1-amd64-disc1.iso, using the nice fbsd-install-iso2img.sh script by Dario Freni. Then I dd it to a usb memory stick like so:

root@kg-v2# dd if=/home/tingo/dl/bsd/fbsd/7.4/FreeBSD-7.4-BETA1-amd64-disc1.img of=/dev/da4 bs=10240 conv=sync

and put the usb memory stick in the machine, and boot from it. Unfortunately, I get the same messages as before, and the machine will not boot from the memory stick. Yet it does not have a problem with booting from a usb memory stick with an OpenBSD installation on (see the OpenBSD page). Strange.

2010-10-16: slice 1 - Xorg: with the vesa driver it works. However, with the intel driver (xf86-video-intel29-2.9.1), it doesn't, it complains about no modes / screens. Error lines from Xorg.0.log:

(EE) intel(0): [drm] Failed to open DRM device for pci:0000:00:02.0: File exists
(EE) intel(0): Failed to become DRM master.
(EE) intel(0): No valid modes.
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Maybe that's just the way things are with the intel driver. Files: xorg.conf, Xorg.0.log.

2010-10-16: slice 1 - I upgraded to latest FreeBSD 8.1-stable, via csup. dmesg output: normal, verbose (part 1, part 2). This output from dmesg seems funny:

root@kg-v7# dmesg | grep coretemp
coretemp0: <CPU On-Die Thermal Sensors> on cpu0
coretemp0: Tj(target) value 105 does not seem right.
coretemp1: <CPU On-Die Thermal Sensors> on cpu1
coretemp1: Tj(target) value 105 does not seem right.
coretemp2: <CPU On-Die Thermal Sensors> on cpu2
coretemp2: Tj(target) value 105 does not seem right.
coretemp3: <CPU On-Die Thermal Sensors> on cpu3
coretemp3: Tj(target) value 105 does not seem right.

However, after booting I get this:

root@kg-v7# for n in 0 1 2 3
{
sysctl dev.cpu.$n.temperature
}
dev.cpu.0.temperature: 29.0C
dev.cpu.1.temperature: 29.0C
dev.cpu.2.temperature: 31.0C
dev.cpu.3.temperature: 31.0C

Not sure what dmesg is complaining about.

2010-05-08: slice 1 - I upgraded to latest FreeBSD 8.0-stable. dmesg output: normal, verbose (part 1, part 2).

2010-03-13: testing usb-to-ps/2 dongles (the motherboard only have one ps/2 port, so if I want to get the mouse to work via the kvm switch (ps/2) I need this). This one (USB to PS2 Cable - sku 478) works:

ugen1.3: <vendor 0x13ba> at usbus1

ums0: <vendor 0x13ba Generic USB K/B, class 0/0, rev 1.10/0.01, addr 3> on usbus1

usbconfig output:

The Slim USB 2.0 to PS/2 Adapter Dongle (sku 1440) also works:

And a cabled version of the above adapter also works:
