FreeBSD-current/amd64 the only os that works! ;)

i've just got new system (MSI Nforce 250Gb-based with athlon64).

tried NetBSD, tried FreeBSD-5.4, even tried Windows XP PRO X64 and none of 
them detects builtin network chip. not a lack of driver problem - chip 
isn't listed on PCI bus at all!!!

this motherboard is listed on FreeBSD webpage as having broken BIOS (not 
the only of course) and that's since April 2005 -current runs on it.

and indeed - everything is detected and everything works.

but

1) what are these all ACPI errors? can them be just ignored or it is a 
problem?
2) why - with interrupt controller capable of 24 ints and lots of them 
unused - network card and one of USB controller gets same interrupt 21?

3) is that high system load normal under net traffic. ftp'ing with 
100Mbit/s speed takes about 10% CPU. with such fast CPU is quite a big 
value. is't it an effect of using same interrupt line that USB?


thank you for all help and congratulations for FreeBSD programmers that 
make it fully working on that hardware!

i initially wanted to use NetBSD on it, but FreeBSD at least works :) and 
appears to work much better under high filesystem load - so i will change 
my preferences. and USB mass storage devices really hot plugs and unplugs 
:)
