Hi:
I've just acquired a MSI K8T NEO (VIA K8T800 Chipset based) motherboard with
a AMD Athlon 64 Processor and a Hitachi 40 Gb SATA disk on it, and I begun
the installation of NetBSD/AMD64 2.0.2 on this hardware, but I could not
finish it because when I boot the install system I get the following
message:
viaide0:0:0: lost interrupt

type: ata tc_bcount: 512 tc_skip: 0

viaide0:0:0: lost interrupt

type: ata tc_bcount: 512 tc_skip: 0

viaide0:0:0: lost interrupt

type: ata tc_bcount: 512 tc_skip: 0

viaide0:0:0: lost interrupt

type: ata tc_bcount: 0 tc_skip: 0

It's the exact same problem that msmith@edtech.mcc.edu posted on 02/10/2005.
And later on msmith@edtech.mcc.edu posted that he finally installed
NetBSD/i386 2.0 on his system so I emulated him. I've just installed
NetBSD/i386 2.0.2 on my system and everything went ok; but now I'm worried
about my pc "health", I mean, isn't it some kind of dangeours for my
processor to run NetBSD/i386 instead of NetBSD/AMD64?
isn't it some kind of dangerous for any other piece of hardware (like the
motherboard)?
is this bug (or whatever it is) avoidable? Any help is welcome. Thanks for
your time

Hugo
