I'm setting up a new server on 6.0 I've been planning for a long

and I am very disappointed with two critical issues. My

motherboard is

the ASUS K8V-X SE that I chose because it was listed as compatible

at

the FreeBSD/amd64 Project:

http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/amd64/motherboards.html

I wonder if going back to 5.4 might help?

Onto the problems...

You might have more luck if you also talk to amd64@xxxxxxxxxxx

I'm not sure who this is but I'll look into it.

2. I can't use my USB ports!

I get a line like this for each of my ports:

uhci0: <VIA 83C572 USB controller> port 0xb800-0xb81f irq 21 at

device

16.0 on pci0
uhci0: [GIANT-LOCKED]

OK, but what is the problem?

When something is plugged into a port and the system is powered up it
will freeze at the POST level with no errors. It just sits there.

I had similar problems with an Asus K8V a couple of months ago. Seems a lot of
those boards had bios problems. Make sure you're using the latest bios
upgrade. Fixed it for me.
