At some point my system developed a problem when rebooting. Now the system hangs after detecting my IDE drives. I hear the Mylex card spinning up the SCSI drives though. Cycling the power sometimes lets me boot all the way. No hardware has been recently added, but I did upgrade my motherboard's BIOS not too long ago. Everything worked fine for a while after that though. The ac250's firmware and BIOS are not the current versions, but I'm hesistant to upgrade. Any comments? Please cc: me on any responses to the list. ---Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
