Anybody have any ideas? Thanks. I have a dual Pentium Pro 300Mhz m/b with PII-300Mhz processors (downshifted to 266 for stability) that was exhibiting this same problem. I would reboot, get 4-5 beeps and the machine would hang. Yet, if I power cycled the machine it would boot up normally. I had a generic PCI video card on-board which I swapped out for an AGP card (ATI All-in-Wonder) and now the machine no longer exhibits this problem. aV To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
