What chipset is the A7M266 based on? is it the AMD760 or the VIA chipset? I've got a Biostar M7MIA motherboard with the AMD760 north bridge and the VIA south bridge (probably the same south bridge chip as the A7M266 even if the north bridge is different), and I'm having problems with hanging on install for 4.1-release.... I've no idea how to fix it, but if we can work out that we're both having the same problem then work out what common piece of hardware we have then maybe we might find something. Could be something to do with DDR RAM maybe? What processor are you using? I had a suspicion it was something to do with the VIA IDE controller chip...FreeBSD identifies it as a "VIA 82C686 ATA66 Controller". When it hangs, it's usually with a "panic: page fault syncing discs", so I'm guessing it's either the IDE controller or hard drive that's causing it.
