This post is unfinished.

This is the old box:

Up and running. re0 wasn’t working well. Got disconnected, bad packet lengths etc. On 6.3 release. With fxp0 in there, all is well.

5 thoughts on “Building an AMD Phenom box”

  1. Hi Dan,

    Funny enough to see your PhenomBSD build as the first search result. Do you plan on some folding@home on your new machine? What is the word on parts for the old computer? I might be ready to purchase some old parts from you if you hadn’t a use for them such that I can add them to my folding@home farm.

    PS,
    I work at the computer store at Algonquin, let me know if you need anything.

  2. Funny how? And what search term did you use?

    No folding on this box. It’s mostly for jails and perhaps a desktop box.

    The m/b for the old computer is fine. I’ll try selling it perhaps.

    I’m in Pennsylvania now. :)

  3. FreeBSD Phenom was the search term ;). I just checked your website and saw your residing in Pennsylvania. That’s a long ways away from Ottawa, get much snow?

    PS,
    See you at BSD Can.

  4. Buy yourself another re1, (Linksys nic card) it should work. I have two mobo and its embedded nic card doesn’t work either. I’m planning to buy the same mobo for my FreeBSD. If you don’t know how to set ifconfig manually, just run DHCP.

    Good-luck
