Hello. Just came back on the list. I've checked the archives etc. but can't find (unless I missed it) anything about this exact problem. E-mail me off-list if I missed something obvious. I seeing a strange problem with the above motherboard and atapi CDROM drives. The problem is that when you boot from the CDROM, it hangs whilst checking the hardware and specifically at atapci0 <Acerlabs Aladdin ATA33 controller> port 0xd800-0xd80f irq0 at device 15 on pci0 I initially thought there was a cdrom problem. I tried two other ones that I pulled from working machiness - same problem. Changed cables - same problem. Decided this was stupid and tried OpenBSD CD, RedHat CD and Suse CD - They all did a full install and I also repeated it with the other two CDROM drives to see if there was something 'flaky' going on. I had succesfull installs with the other OS's using all three CDROM drives Has anyone else had a FreeBSD cdrom boot/install problem with the Asus P5A-B motherboard.
