Hi, I need to install FreBSD on an Intel system with s5000pal mainboard. The problem is, that on the kernel loading stage, FreeBSD reboots the server. Like, always and silently, without trapping. I have plugged out all of the discrete PCI controllers, leaving only onboard ones. Still reboots. I was suspecting this is some kind of hardware problem, so I ran the memtest (no errors for two hours) and I've even switched the server (I have two identical ones). New server reboots too. So, looks like it's some kind of FreeBSD issue. I've updated the BIOS on both, tried to boot without ACPI - and this doesn't help (and without ACPI FreeBSD refuses to even start to load kernel). So I'll really appreciate any ideas on how to solve this. I tried to boot CentOS - it boots just fine. I've alsp tried to play with various BIOS settings, but this makes no difference at all. From what I see FreeBSD reboots the server during the PCI initialization. Thanks. Eugene.
