I had this once and found the following hints: Error report: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2007-January/032425.html Some discussion about it: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2006-November/030897.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-qa/2006-September/000783.html Partial fix could be to use GRUB (it helps me on Sun, but does not help on HP servers) And: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2007-January/032446.html The btx code can't deal with BIOSes which want to enter protected mode to service the I/Os. USB support in most BIOSen generally does this. I see the same issue with FreeBSD's pxeboot and the PXE client in Etherboot. -- pi@c0mplx.org +49 171 3101372 13 years to go !
