See messages about A8N-VM (CSM) on the freebsd-acpi list. The workaround is to fix the DSDT with a hex editor (or hack the Intel AML tools to not die when they hit a mangled name) and use that. Boot into x86 with ACPI disabled, install fixed DSDT, reboot. Slightly longer explanation and download of fixed DSDT is http://people.fruitsalad.org/adridg/development.freebsd.html#a8nvm -- These are your friends - Adem GPG: FEA2 A3FE Adriaan de Groot State Changed From-To: open->feedback It looks like the DSDT is broken on your motherboard. Did you follow the advice by Adriaan de Groot to fix it? Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-standards->freebsd-acpi It looks like the DSDT is broken on your motherboard. Did you follow the advice by Adriaan de Groot to fix it? ASUS has released an updated BIOS for this motherboard that fixes this problem. It is Version 1001, dated 2006/04/27. The BIOS is available from the ASUS download site. -- Norbert Papke. Hi, Is it possible to test the BIOS update mentioned in this PR, along with a more recent version of FreeBSD and see if it fixes your problems please? The BIOS update looks to have fixed the issues for at least one other FreeBSD user. Thanks, Gavin State Changed From-To: feedback->closed Feedback timeout (> 1 month). |
I have a system with the hardware below: MB. : ASUS A8N-VM-CSM (AMI BIOS) CPU : AMD Athlon 64 3000+ RAM : 1GB SCSI Card : Adaptec 29160N SCSI HD. : Seagate SCSI 72GB. As I installing FreeBSD 6.0 I found I can not boot with the BIOS ACPI function enabled and then I disable it from BIOS and finally I can install 6.0 and thereafter every time when I reboot my message log will have the error log below and can not shutdown via "shutdown -p now" command: Dec 25 14:09:26 amd-64 kernel: ACPI-0397: *** Error: NsSearchAndEnter: Bad character in ACPI Name: 43005350 Dec 25 14:09:26 amd-64 kernel: ACPI-0381: *** Error: Looking up [0x43005350] (NON-ASCII) Dec 25 14:09:26 amd-64 kernel: in namespace, AE_BAD_CHARACTER Dec 25 14:09:26 amd-64 kernel: ACPI-0204: *** Error: AcpiLoadTables: Could not load namespace: AE_BAD_CHARACTER Dec 25 14:09:26 amd-64 kernel: ACPI-0213: *** Error: AcpiLoadTables: Could not load tables: AE_BAD_CHARACTER Dec 25 14:09:26 amd-64 kernel: ACPI: table load failed: AE_BAD_CHARACTER Below is the mptable dump from my machine for your REF.: MPTable ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MP Floating Pointer Structure: location: BIOS physical address: 0x000ff780 signature: '_MP_' length: 16 bytes version: 1.1 checksum: 0x2b mode: Virtual Wire ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MP Config Table Header: physical address: 0x000f1950 signature: 'PCMP' base table length: 280 version: 1.1 checksum: 0x96 OEM ID: 'TEMPLATE' Product ID: 'CSM ' OEM table pointer: 0x00000000 OEM table size: 0 entry count: 28 local APIC address: 0xfee00000 extended table length: 0 extended table checksum: 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MP Config Base Table Entries: -- Processors: APIC ID Version State Family Model Step Flags 0 0x10 BSP, usable 15 15 2 0x78bfbff -- Bus: Bus ID Type 0 PCI 1 PCI 2 PCI 3 PCI 4 PCI 5 ISA -- I/O APICs: APIC ID Version State Address 1 0x11 usable 0xfec00000 -- I/O Ints: Type Polarity Trigger Bus ID IRQ APIC ID PIN# ExtINT conforms conforms 5 0 1 0 INT conforms conforms 5 1 1 1 INT conforms conforms 5 0 1 2 INT conforms conforms 5 3 1 3 INT conforms conforms 5 4 1 4 INT conforms conforms 5 6 1 6 INT active-hi edge 5 8 1 8 INT conforms conforms 5 9 1 9 INT conforms conforms 5 12 1 12 INT conforms conforms 5 13 1 13 INT conforms conforms 5 14 1 14 INT conforms conforms 5 15 1 15 INT active-lo level 0 5:A 1 11 INT active-lo level 0 10:A 1 5 INT active-lo level 0 14:A 1 11 INT active-lo level 0 15:A 1 10 INT active-lo level 4 8:A 1 7 INT active-lo level 4 9:A 1 5 -- Local Ints: Type Polarity Trigger Bus ID IRQ APIC ID PIN# ExtINT conforms conforms 5 0 255 0 NMI conforms conforms 5 0 255 1 =============================================================================== If your need more details about my machine, please feel free to contact me.
