I was unable to get a verbose boot before it totally stopped working. So it's not just the install, it's acpi and/or SATA related. [1] However, this is good information. Is there any way to identify, what was fixed in -current that makes it work? I'm happy to try any MFC patches once it's back on RELENG_6 (probably today). I'll reserve a bootable slice for it. For example, could you (Mars) post a verbose boot? [1] I have a second machine that is totally different (i386/Gateway/ich5/Intel HTT/SATA-150) that had the same install problem and an in place upgrade changed the FreeBSD 6 'ad4' to 'ad16', so we went with UDMA disk instead. -- Mel
