Motherboard support

[Graeme Dargie]

Hello,

 

I have built a machine with a Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2, running Freebsd
7.1. For the most part it is fine but I do have two problems

 

1)       The NIC a realtek 8111C keeps giving watchdog timeout messages
and the link state changes from up to down and back to up again.

 

2)       The two hard disks that are attached to the sata raid
controller are not seen by Freebsd, the raid card is set to native ide
as I want to use ZFS rather than the onboard raid system and all the
drives are present at post. I understand this motherboard uses a AMD740
chipset and has 740 northbridge and a SB700 southbridge.

 

Any ideas tips pointers would be most welcome

 

Regards

 

Graeme
