At this point, I've been through 4 AMD64 motherboards. Commonly, AE_BAD_CHARACTER stops ACPI (or apic?) from figuring out the system --- this has happened on 3 out of four boards. On this latest board, it can turn off APIC. If I do that, FreeBSD hangs after detecting the disks. The only "wrong" thing on the screen is module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (amr_linux, 0xffffffff805ebcc0, 0) error 6 I have tested boot CDs for amd64 from 6.0-RELEASE, 6.1-BETA1 and 6.1-BETA4. None have successfully booted on these boards. Strangely enough, i386 boots fine, APIC and all.
