hardware upgrade info

[r0ller <r0ller%freemail.hu@localhost>]

Hi All,

I upgraded my box for Christmas and as there are many questions about hw components asking which works and which not on NetBSD, here is what I experienced. The new hw is as follows:

-AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
-MSI B450 GAMING PRO CARBON MAX WIFI
-2db Corsair 8gb DDR4 3200Mhz Vengeance Pro Black

These I had already:
-radeon r9 nano 4GB video card
-samsung 1TB sata2 hdd

The migration was as easy as I expected: I simply started the new box with the old hdd with an existing 9.0 installation and it booted just fine.

There were two problems:

1) X did not start if ACPI was enabled (xdm or startx resulted in a black screen and the pc got frozen) so currently it's off which means poweroff does not turn off the box so I have to end it up by pressing the power button.

2) The intel 9260 based integrated wifi does not work though it's supported according to this: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes-hg/2018/04/09/msg000074.html
So I'm currently using the wifi card (via an m.2 to pcie adapter) from the previous box which is an Intel 7265 NGWG W.

Nothing else required any fix :)

Best regards,
