Description Adam McDougall 2006-01-20 20:20:07 UTC
I would like to add an entry for my recently purchased Tomcat K8E
(S2865) ANRF motherboard to
http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/amd64/motherboards.html.

Manufacturer: Tyan
Model: K8E (S2865) ANRF
Chipset/socket: nVidia nForce 4 / Socket 939
Submitter: Adam McDougall
Link: http://www.egr.msu.edu/~mcdouga9/dmesg.K8E
Version: 6.0-STABLE, Jan 2005
Notes: 6.0-RELEASE also seems to work fine but -STABLE has updated
gig driver.  Tested and working: Onboard primary gigabit (nve driver),
PATA (I dont use SATA), USB, Firewire, onboard audio works with snd_ich
driver, Geforce 6600GT in PCIe slot. Xorg 6.8 supports the 6600 in amd64
or i386 installs, but only singlehead; use Nvidia's X driver for dualhead
and more, but that driver only works with i386 installs for now until
FreeBSD has finished PAT support and the Nvidia driver is written to use it.

I forgot to add something which I consider critical.
My board came with V2.00 bios which I upgraded to 3.01
and I COULD NOT get it to boot off of a hard disk on a 
LSI Logic U320 pci-x SCSI card in one of the pci slots. 
I reported this to Tyan as a possible BIOS problem and
am using an Adaptec in the meantime with no problem.
