I have done the clean install with both 12.0 and 12.2, with the same results. If you actually read through the bug report, you would see that I am not the only one with this problem. Apparently, someone reported that you could rebuild the kernel and remove USB3 or something like that, but I have neither the time nor inclination to do that, assuming I could do it. Versions 10 & 11 work fine. This is something that FreeBSD did that screwed up the works. Dell is aware of the problem but will do nothing to attempt to create a work around for it. They claim it is working as specified and every other OS, with the exception of FreeBSD works correctly on that system. I am not going to spend more money to get a system that is happy with FreeBSD. I buy what I want and then get an OS that is capable of operating on it, not the other way around. In any case, I am thinking of either Fedora, Debian or Arch Linux. I was just looking for recommendations from anyone who has used those systems. --=20 Jerry --Sig_/oc0mlqvzh52RP9m1Eq6vDL.
