I tried 1754, 1716, 1705, 1699, and 1669. The 1669 BIOS was supposed to fix some bugs introduced in later revisions but my system behaves exactly the same. With 7.0-RELEASE, option 1 on the install CD still does a clean reboot about half way through kernel initialization. Option 2 to disable ACPI gets further and then hangs while trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ md0. This requires a manual reboot. Here is what I can see of the screen as it is frozen from option #2. This was manually typed in. -- BEGIN SCREEN CAPTURE -- device_attach: atapci1 attach returned 6 pci0: at device 31.3 (no driver attached) orm0: at iomem 0xcb800-0xcd7ff, 0xcd800-0xce7ff, 0xce800-0xcf7ff on isa0 atkbdc0: at port 0x60,0x64 on isa0 fdc0: cannot reserve interrupt line ppc0: cannot reserve I/O port range sc0: at flags 0x100 on isa0 sc0: VGA <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x300> sio0: configured irq4 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 sio0: port may not be enabled sio0: configured irq4 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 sio0: port may not be enabled sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa0 sio0: type 16550A sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 sio1: port may not be enabled vga0: at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa0000-0xbffff on isa0 RTC BIOS diagnostic error 80 Timecounter "TSC" frequency 1872271506 Hz quality 800 Timecounters ticket every 1.000 msec hptrr: no controller detected md0: Preloaded image 4194304 bytes at 0xffffffff80bc6c08 Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/md0 -- END SCREEN CAPTURE -- My next step is to re-roll the latest CVSUP'd sources from the 7.1 tree into a make release on a different (working) amd64 system. I'd like to see what the latest source will get me but I'm not optimistic at this point. Question: should I try the i386 build to see if there are any differences? I really need to run amd64 but I am open to trying i386 if it would help get to the bottom of this.
