Question on runing STABLE on old Intel SMP boards

Thu Oct 12 03:48:00 UTC 2006

Hello, Stable!

Do anyone have running RELENG_6 branch on old Intel SMP boards? I have two
of them: SCB2 and SDS2. Both are on RELENG_4_11 today. Thinking on proposed
EoL of RELENG_4 branch I'v tryed to move one of them (SCB2) onto 6.1-RELEASE.
That was very problematic - ethernet performance droped down to about 90
kB/s in installer (Installer was runned from boot floppy).

Do you have any tips? (Like running with ACPI disabled ond so on).

Best Regards,
