I have been trying to install FreeBSD 6.2-Release on this hardware with no success...i have also tried 6.1 release, as well as 6.0 release but still get the same error, at the same point. i attempted with a boot only CD for 6.1-Release as well. it boots well, but gets to a point and logs: usb1: Host controller halter uhub1: device problem (IOERROR), disabling port 1 panic: usbd_transfer: not done and reboots... if i remove the USB keyboard, all above versions of FreeBSD boot, but when i plug the keyboard back in, its not functional. i managed to get it to boot once with the keyboard plugged in, but loose it after it gets to the sysinstall part. I disabled the front USB ports and got no difference, i disabled the USB controller from BIOS, but of course that leaves me with no USB functionality on the system. any one come across this? i ruled out a problem with FreeBSD and USB functionality because i installed FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE on to a Dell PowerEdge 1950 and it worked well....tried all other 6.x that i have and they worked well too!
