Installing with FreeBSD 6.3 i386 / 7.0 RC1 i386 - boot up with hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 - Shows error message with BTX Halted - also tried setting hw.ata.ata_dma=0 and/or hw.ata.atapi_dma=0 , same problem Here are the following register values shown on BTX Halted (for FreeBSD 6.3 i386) efl=00010002 eip=00000003 eax=00449130 ecx=004f010f edx=0003fa40 esp=000928b0 Values for FreeBSD 7.0 RC1 i386 efl=00010097 eip=00459160 eax=00459a30 ecx=a0000075 edx=00e2c3f0 Any suggestions?
