Dear Sirs, I would like to report a very serious Problem with FreeBSD since version 8.0: On my machine with an K8N4-E Mainboard (Socket 754 for AMD Athlon 64/AMD Sempron with NVIDIA nForce 4-4X chipset) the installation fails very soon at the beginning with all versions of FreeBSD/i386 since 8.0 (also stable-snapshot and now 8.1-beta), while 7.2/i386 and 7.3 work flawlessly. After booting from the Installation-CD the machine hangs with the following output: acpi0:<Nvidia AWRDACPI> on motherboard acpi0:[THREAD] acpi0:Power Button (fixed) acpi0:reservation of 0, a3000 (3) failed Timecounter "ACPI-fast" frequency 3579545 Hz quality 1000 acpi_timer0:<24-bit timer at 3.579545 MHZ> port 0x4008-0x400b on acpi0 cpu0:<ACPI CPUS on acpi0 acpi_button0:<Power Button> on acpi0 pcib0:<ACPI Host-PCI bridge>port 0xcf8-0xctf on acpi0 pci0:<ACPI PCI bus> on pcib0 I should have reported this much earlier when 8.0 came out, but I thought many others would have that problem, too, as I don't think that I have uncommon hardware. But unfortunately, the problem still persists with 8.1-beta. Do you think that this can still be fixed for the next 8.1-release? Regards, Werner Lehmann How-To-Repeat: Just try to install FreeBSD 8.0/8.1-beta/i386 on a machine with the above mentioned mainboard.
Could you try booting with verbose logging enabled (via the boot menu) and tell us what's displayed?

State Changed From-To: feedback->open This looks like it might be a problem with probing USB.

(In reply to Bruce Cran from comment #5) > … might be a problem with probing USB on 8.x. Should we assume that there's no longer a problem, close as overcome by events?
