Thanx, but it did not help. It seems the brand new aac driver is the problem because if I boot with a GENERIC kernel without the aac the machine boots without problems, but obviously I can't access any disks. Will try to send the author of aac a mail about this. Sorry for using this lame hotmail account, there's something wrong with the company dns at the moment wich makes me unable to send mail to freebsd.org. Roger O.
