Knowing roughly where in the boot process this > happens will probably greatly help. Hi Gavin, it dies EXACTLY before any of the boot info comes up. Step by step: - bootloader : ok - boot menu : ok - select any option (except 6, but any cmd from there that will take me attempt to boot will simply panic). - line in same gray coloured text comes up, (from memory, kernel 0x..., segment 0x.... etc). as soon as that finishes... - font changes to bright white. not 1 line of detection comes up, and the panic happens. I have not been able to boot any freebsd combo. tried disabling anything that I could, no luck. not even the installer. disabled acpi, DMA, safe mode, single user. zilch I hope that is something to go by. I'll take the box apart tomorrow to see what precise motherboard it is. Plan B is gentoo :( thanks for any pointers you / others can give :) Cheers, Beto
