The following reply was made to PR i386/126666; it has been noted by GNATS. From: brian <peispud@eastlink.ca> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, peispud@msn.com Cc: Subject: Re: i386/126666: [boot] [hang] boot failure for nForce 630i / GeForce 7100 mainboards Date: Fri, 01 Jan 2010 20:30:04 -0400 I have listed more detailed system specs on PCF-BSD's mailing lists at http://lists.pcbsd.org/pipermail/testing/2009-December/003167.html . This bug ( for rather common nvidia and Acer hardware that has been on the market for ages ) is now 16 months old. Is there some hope of a fix? Should I just install Linux over the partition in question? By the way Linux has no problem with my hardware - each and every version I have thrown it's way for the last two years. Do you people actually get users outside of your own small tech community to test the OS ? Not many people use FreeBSD and the answer is not quite as condescendingly simple as you might wish for. The answer is simply that FreeBSD has vile, bottom of the barrel hardware support.
