I attempted to do a test install of FreeBSD 6.1 ISO on a new machine I was building, the specs were: *AMD AM2 5000+ dual core *Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe Motherboard *1GBx4 Mushkin ddr2 800Mhz *750GBx4 S-ATA Seagate Barracuda Hard Drive (Tested with and without motherboard NV RAID in 0+1 mode with the same results) *ATI Radeon 1800 video card *standard dvd-rom When attempting to boot in verbose and non verbose mode the machine would hang (to the best of what I recall) on the hard drives. It was repeatable everytime and it would freeze at this position with no errors for an undefined amount of time. I might be able to get my hands on a similar system to test it again for a day or so if anyone might have time to poke around, but that's the best I can do :( How-To-Repeat: Previously stated.

The 7.0-CURRENT-200608 passed the disk probes, and indeed finished the install, but was subject to a massive interrupt storm. As of today (2006-sep-16) the problem is solved in both 7-CURRENT and 6-STABLE (soon to be 6.2-RELEASE), I verified personally with 2 home-built snapshot CDROMs. I think this PR can be closed (FIXED). http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=101873 Angelo Turetta
