Is there anyone who uses FreeBSD on their blade 100 as a full blown workstation with XFree86 installed and useable? when I connect the usb keyboard to the system then boot into FreeBSD I get a error "panic: pcib unrecoverable DMA error AFAR 0x84008 AFSR 0x4100ff00208" then the system goes in to a endless rebooting loop. has anyone seen this problem before? I'm guessing this must be a USB keyboard related issue; this only happens when I connect the USB keyboard. when I disconnect the keyboard and leave the mouse connected everything works fine I just have to use the serial console. Neal I apologize if this is a duplicate I am having problems with my mail service.
