I recently reinstalled FreeBSD 5.2 Release. On previous installation I had needed to set enable_io_modes=0 both to install from CD and then to boot the installed system. However, this time it installed flawlessly and then booted the system without this option. However, the next day FreeBSD failed to boot, hanging at the usual AGP bridge line. Mystified, I booted from the install CD with no problems and without setting io_modes=0. Following this succesfull boot from CD FreeBSD also booted from the harddisk with no problems. The next day (yesterday) I can't boot the installed version at all. Setting io_modes=o gets me past the AGP bridge hang, only to find that the boot then hangs on what looks like loading the keyboard driver or at least around that point. I don't currently have access to the machine to post the actual log. Any ideas on this somewhat strange problem woudl be appreciated. regards, Darryl Barlow http://greetings.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
