Subject:   Rebooting fails after installing 5.3-RELEASE
Message-ID:  <BDB5FC3D.6E27%travis@desideratum.com>

Hello,

I have a custom PC with an ASUS A7N266-VM motherboard, 256MB of RAM, a WD
hard drive, a generic CD-ROM drive, and a D-Link DFE-530TX+ NIC. I had
FreeBSD 4.9 on one partition and Windows XP Pro on another. Tonight I erased
the 4.9 partition and installed 5.3.

Since then I have been unable to get the machine to reboot when booted into
FreeBSD. Calling "reboot" or "shutdown -r now" syncs, displays the uptime,
then roughly says:

Shutting down ACPI
Stray irq9
ACPI-0265: *** Error: Hardware never changed modes

The machine then appears to reset. However, instead of being immediately
presented with the BIOS I am left with a blank screen and a motherboard that
continuously beeps an alternating two tones. The closest entry I can find to
this in my motherboard manual indicates missing or defecting RAM, but this
is not the case. Pressing the reset button causes the machine to boot
normally. Rebooting from 4.9 or Windows XP works perfectly.

I can reproduce this same situation when booted from 5.3-RELEASE-i386-disc1.
If at the "Welcome to FreeBSD" menu I choose option 7 the machine reboots
correctly. If I choose option 1 to boot into the installer, then exit the
installer, the machine will fail to reboot correctly, beeping continuously
until reset.

I've googled, checked the handbook, and checked a book. Any ideas? My uname
-a and dmesg output is below.
