Hello, I am attempting to install 5.4R on a brand new Dell PowerEdge 1850 machine. The installation goes perfectly however after the reboot, I am unable to log into the machine (or in this case, create the entropy salt) I have noticed 2 quirky behaviors with this machine. 1) I get to just about the "local package" time of boot when I start seeing Interrupt storm detected on "irq18: uhci"; throttling interrupt source While not a solution, I got this to go away by disabling the USB ports on the system in the BIOS. I only mention it because it's the only other "new" behaviour I'm seeing on this machine versus the other boxes I maintain. 2) The keyboard works until the devd detects a PS2 keyboard and installs the device for it. As in, I can pick which way I'd like to boot FreeBSD from the menu and can hit keys during the probing but as soon as I see the message that it's set up the keyboard, bam..nonresponsive. As a test, I installed 4.11R on the machine tonight and it works flawlessly. The only problem is that the machine this was intending to replace is already running 5.2+ so I'll need to get this one into the 5.X arena somehow. Thoughts? John Straiton j k s @clickcom.com
