Yep first thing I assumed...ACPI was disabled...both in BIOS and via MENU...no joy...UDMA disabled...in fact.. PATA DISABLED (after install via CD) USB DISABLED FDD DIABLED APM DIABLED SMART DISABLED LAN DISABLED SOUND DISABLED FIREWIRE DISABLED =) If you cant tell, I have literally installed over a hundred FBSD boxes and have encountered TONS of caveats...however this one has def got me stumped..after the install, the system seems to be holding stable with the BIOS INTERNAL/EXTERNAL cache disabled...its SLLLOOOWWW but stable... -----Original Message----- From: NMH [mailto:drumslayer2@yahoo.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2005 2:19 PM To: emartinez@crockettint.com; questions Subject: Re: AMD64 (former i386 convert)+ FreeBSD various issues in 5.3, 5.4 (pre+post install) --- Edgar Martinez <emartinez@crockettint.com> wrote: > All, > > > > I cant begin to tell you how horrible of a time I > have had trying to get > this system installed and running.

While AMD is good, not all MB's for them are. Also ACPI can cause weird stuff like that too. Perhaps try turning that off or try other settings in the BIOS. I had that problem once. It actually did then when ACPI was turned off in the bios. Best of luck.
