MB BIOS update ? On some more exotic boards I find I sometimes have
to disable some features, typically USB related, if there are
problems. Not sure in your case. I think MSI is enabled by default
on 7 and not on 6, so perhaps something on the board does not like
that ? Try disabling it in the loader.conf
hw.pci.enable_msi=0
