As the system is completely stuck at the moment I cannot get more info (dmesg, uname etc.) to You, but maybe You can give me some directions as I am trying to decide as whether to delete or rebuild the system. =20 (i) From the start booting worked only with acpi disabled (ii) Sound never worked - I tried snd_hda and snd_ich which had appeared to be most promising without any success (iii) Smp does crash everything (iv) Cannot reboot/shutdown except by pressing the on/off button (v) The nve driver seemed to work well enough to run the disks and the Ethernet (vi) No trace of the wlan - everything related to atheros compiled into a costum kernel (vii) Power management crashes everything when enabled =20 I wonder if these problems and their likely origin in incompatible hardware are unsolvable making further install attempts futile or if it is something I am doing wrong. As I depend on productivity and computing power I have some interest in using the underlying hardware to its fullest but also cannot afford a lot of time experimenting. So I'd be thankful for some hints as to whether it is likely that FreeBSD can run on this platform. =20 Thanks =20 =20 =20
