Last post by BrandyWine - Today at 12:06:52 AMSo, I am not sure if it's a mistake or not. For the AMD ucode pkg the MANIFEST files say this, note what I bolded.
So the package was compiled down in May 2026, but it's version is 2025 ?? I assume you would simply see a newer rev of "20251202" pkg in repo ?

Last post by BrandyWine - May 22, 2026, 11:58:25 PMThe N97 has those pros/cons. The cpu itself is better than N150, but the 97 chews up approx 2.5x more watts !
Those Supe-u items also come with heavy graphics, which wont be used for FW purposes.

hilft das hier?
und by the way: was sollte man eigentlich schwärzen und was nicht? :D

The standard VGA based console in Proxmox has a few disadvantages, e.g. it doesn't support cut & paste (at least not easily), that is why I used the serial based xterm.js console.
As I said, it works, but only after I changed 'onifconsole' to 'on'.
Did this once in the past and even my triple monitor setup was completely useable with it !!

I like the idea of offloading it to a a seperate device, but that's just one more thing that's using power and with the electricity prices at the moment...It doesn't have to be much hardware-wise :)

Last post by qarkhs - May 22, 2026, 09:49:13 PMQuote from: Greg_E on May 21, 2026, 10:35:13 PMThere's not much Supermicro anymore
Supermicro make "Compact Edge System" with N97 cpus and 2x 2.5GbE. I see these selling for around $400 online but they may be using Realtek networking. The ones with 2x i226 are more like $530. Some of the GigaIPC boxes use 2x i225/i226 with N97 and are significantly cheaper. AAEON and Jetway sell similar systems, some of which have more ports. Jetway is probably the cheapest--you can find their cheapest boxes for around $300. With all of these systems you usually need to add your own memory and drive. My experience of these type of systems is limited to a GigaIPC with 2x Intel 1GbE and a J6412 CPU. I bought it from a US reseller, although I think it shipped direct from Gigabyte USA, in November 2023 for $170. After adding memory and storage it was $250. It was cheap and it's been very reliable.

Last post by BrandyWine - May 22, 2026, 08:34:34 PMQuote from: Kets_One on May 22, 2026, 08:37:05 AMThe spectre-meldown tool provides identifies my EPYC 3101 CPU as: family 0x17 model 0x1 stepping 0x2 ucode 0x0 cpuid 0x800f12 pfid 0x8.
Does that look ok? What about the ucode 0x0? Is that the same as 0x8001278 truncated?
From looking at AMD docs, you also need to have the Platform Initialization (PI) firmware at or above 1.1.0.F, which is usually incorporated into bios/uefi, etc.

Last post by BrandyWine - May 22, 2026, 07:43:38 PMQuote from: Kets_One on May 22, 2026, 08:37:05 AMI'll have a look at the package date for microcode later today.

What about the failure of the manual microcode:
$ service microcode_update onestart
Updating CPU Microcode...
Re-evalulation of CPU flags Failed.
I'm at a loss here.
Well, AMD family 17 (23 dec) is in the org v14 repo as a 2025 pkg (https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/All/Hashed/cpu-microcode-amd-20251202~c5b8ad4d4f.pkg). I do not think 0x0 is related to the cpuid # itself.
The pkg should cover your Zen 3101 Snowy Owl cpu.
.
Grab it from your device (curl, wget, etc)
Install the pkg,
Then enable microcode updates at boot time:
cat << EOF >> /boot/loader.conf
cpu_microcode_load="YES"
cpu_microcode_name="/boot/firmware/amd-ucode.bin"
EOF
See --> https://freebsd.pkgs.org/14/freebsd-amd64/cpu-microcode-amd-20251202~c5b8ad4d4f.pkg.html
Let's see what ucode installs after boot.

os-cpu-microcode-intel-1.1
Well, it looks like a new pkg was made about 10d ago.
https://freebsd.pkgs.org/14/freebsd-amd64/cpu-microcode-intel-20260512~8492f4e362.pkg.html
Is it available in the opnsense repo?
I dont see a 06-9a-04.80 in the list though.
