Confirming that FreeNAS 0.7 works on the Abit BP6 motherboard.
The server was made mostly from old spare parts:
- Abit BP6 (no mods, caps haven't been replaced)
- 1x Celeron 366Mhz (not overclocked)
- 256MB RAM
- nVidia GeForce2 MX400 64MB AGP
- Intel 82559 Pro/100 NIC
- 6 HDs of various sizes setup in JBOD
- CF to IDE adapter, +128M CF Card (for FreeNAS)
- xsonic 350W power supply
Had a few problems as some parts died, including two video cards and two sticks of RAM. Also a 10G HD (from a Xbox 1) caused lockups.
Another Celeron, or overclocking, might help as CPU is the bottleneck when doing a rsync.
USB & FDD controller, parallel & serial ports were all turned off in the BIOS.
