This is regardless if the installation has been dual-booted or not. The problem appears to be the AHCI module. Hardware: Intel i7 980x processor MSI Big Bang-XPower motherboard XFX HD-485X-ZNFC Radeon HD 4850 video card DDR3 2000 ram (16GB) >How-To-Repeat: FreeBSD does not have AHCI enabled by default, however, PCBSD does. In the loader.conf file, ahci_load="YES" will cause the problem to occur. >Fix: In the loader.conf file, ahci_load="NO" allows normal startup.
