There's a known bug with some ASUS boards, and it's being worked on at present--the current maintainer has a hack that will work (though probably has to be redone each time you make world. Open /usr/src/sys/i386/i386/i686_mem.c (err, never hurts to back it up first. I'll give all the steps, even though you probably know them, as this list is deja searchable and might help the next person who doesn't know all of them. So, back it up cd /usr/src/sys/i386/i386 cp i686_mem.c i686_mem.c.orig Around line 269 you'll see u_int cr4save; mrd = sc->mr_desc; between those two lines insert return; Save the file. (This has to do with problems with MTRR and these boards--for more info see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=28418 ) Now recompile the kernel--let's say you're running a kernel called MYKERN (if you're just using GENERIC, then substitute GENERIC for MYKERN) cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf config MYKERN You see a message saying don't forget to do make depend and also telling you where to go, which should be ../../config/MYKERN make depend && make && make install Reboot. It should fix the problem As I said, I go into such detail for the newbie who searches deja or the archives with a similar question.
