It is an Acer Aspire 9302AWMSi with a AMD Turion 64 Mobile CPU. I tried freebsd 8.2, pcbsd 8.2 and pcbsd 9.0 . Unfortunately the installation routine gets trapped in some kind of endless loop. Version 8.2 starts up and restarts again as soon the kernel gets loaded. With version 9.0 I come to a menu and when I select any of the choices, the computer restarts again. Any advice what I could do? Or is it simply impossible to install freebsd on this kind of notebook? Cheers, Andy
