Follow-up - K8T890 where everything works (Soltek, recommended)

[Mike Harding]

I purchased a Soltek SL-K890Pro-939 mainboard at NewEgg for $98 and it's
been rock-solid and everything I have tried has worked well.  On board
sound, on-board ethernet, USB, everything.  I have included the 'dmesg'
output below - note that I also have an M-Audio board installed, so it
shows up as unknown hardware.  I am using the M-Audio board via the
4front driver but I did test out the onboard audio.

Recommended if you are looking for a FreeBSD compatible AMD-64 MB.  Easy
setup and everything I have tried works well.  I've booted the system in
both i386 and amd64 mode.  I am also running a 'Cool n' quiet' kernel
module, it does keep the chip temps down when the system is idle.

The board appears to be of very good quality, and has an, er,
'interesting' color scheme, with lots of purple and some yellow, good
for Lakers' fans I suppose.

I am including the 'dmesg' output below.  Can somebody tell me what
'acpi_bus_number: can't get _ADR' means?

I will put this on the supported MB page soon, after I incorporate
feedback to this post.
