I guess I'm not the only one with hardware that is unusable with FreeBSD 5.x, but FreeBSD 5.x simply is not installable on Dell PowerEdge 6350 servers. FreeBSD 4.8 works fine on the same hardware. FreeBSD 5.0, 5.1-BETA1, 5.1-BETA2, and 5.1-RC1 all die in sysinstall is detecting hardware and drop the machine into the kernel debugger. It also kills the display, making it tough to catch. I've tried with ACPI off. Same result. I've submitted a PR (#52561), about this problem. I've updated it recently as I now know the exact point it dies. Since FreeBSD is also killing the video display, it was initially hard to see. Is there is any more information that anyone needs? I wanted to use 5.1-RELEASE on these machines, but I assume now that 5.1-RELEASE will have this bug too. Tom
