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 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.
