Le 26 mai 2023 23 h 30 min 00 s UTC= , Kevin Oberman <rkoberman@gmail=2Ecom> a =C3=A9crit=C2=A0:
First, can anyone recommend a small, inexpensiv= e mini-PC that will work with FreeBSD? I do need one with a VGA monitor con= nection=2E (That limits options quite a bit=2E)

My decade-old server, an ASUS mini-PC, died a couple of weeks a= go and I bought a Kamrui replacement=2E Looked good=2E low-end Alder Lake p= rocessor, 16 GB RAM and 512GB SSD=2E
This looked like a grea= t $200 option for me=2E

The SSD is m=2E2= , but not nVME=2E It has a SATA interface=2E I started seeing odd corruptio= ns and missing files (like my ld-elf hints file)=2E Decided that the SSD wa= s bad, so returned the unit and got a replacement=2E It crashed and stopped= booting when I was installing a number of packages=2E I see the following = messages:

OK boot -s
stag= ing 0x5fc00000 (not copying) tramp 0x6e4c60000 PT4 0x6e4bd000
Start @ 0xffffffff803b000 =2E=2E=2E
EFI framebuffer inform= ation:
addr, size       0x4000= 000000, 0x1d4c00
dimensions     800 x 600
stride         &nb= sp;   800
masks      = ;      0x00ff0000, 0x0000ff00, 0x000000ff, 0xff000= 000

IS there an issue with this hardware= (which has probably never run FreeBSD) or did I just step into a bad batch= of SSDs?
