Gigabyte Intros Bay Trail J1800 Based Mini-ITX Board

Thanks for the tips Steve. As VMWare also has problems with this CPU, I suspect I'll end up going with Hyper-V.

Good morning
I have a q1900M motherborard with two intel nics pro/100 and, this morning, i have finish the router with pfsense. When i load pfsense and i select 1 in the menu, i have the same problem with ACPI but, when i select 2 in the menu, all work fine and install go fine. I am just a problem with the route. Sorry for my English, i have French.

So you can boot if you select 'ACPI disabled'?
You can make that permanent by adding the line in /boot/loader.conf.local. See:

Good morning
I have tested the pfsense 2.2 alpha and it work fine with acpi enable. Just the dns seem don't work and it is necessary to put a dns in network config. Why this, i don' know. Notar

2.2 is still in alpha. A new DNS forwarder is being used and I guess a bug was introduced while things are being ironed out.

Hi,

Long time pfsense user but this is my first post here.

I just want to add to this thread by saying I recently bought a J1900-D3V board. I got around to assembling it yesterday and came across the same issues others were having.

However I did try a trick that was suggested above that worked. On cold boot I get the Interrupt Trigger error. However If I press the reset switch it will boot up with no issues.

I've installed 2.1.4 64bit.

Hopefully this workaround will help someone until a more permanent fix is available from Gigabyte or BSD kernel workaround.

I forgot to mention that I'm using the F3 version of the BIOS and I also disabled all the UFI stuff so everything in the Advanced –> CSM configuration section of the BIOS is set to Legacy.

Here is a patch for FreeBSD 8.3 64 Bit, its just a backport of the patch from the bugreport.

Somehow i can't login into the bugtracker, just posting it here for interested people.

Interesting. Is it possible to add that as a module or does it require a complete kernel rebuild?

it requires a new kernel to be build.
wont work that great with updates…

i just sent the patch to the dev@ mailinglist. perhaps it gets included in next stable?

I have a pfSense build I made with a Lenovo H100s motherboard (j1800) that I bought off ebay for $15 and a Pro 1000 VT quad NIC, and a couple Intel SLC SSDs in a gmirror, running 2.3.3_1 bare metal.

I can confirm that the bay trail processor works great with 2.3.3. Iperf over 900mbs across local network, rarely goes above 30% CPU with OpenVPN tunnel running concurrently.
