In relation to John Baldwin's question, I (at least) have basically zero knowledge of x86 assembler. :-( But this bit caught my eye: > How can I try to debug this?

When my error occurs (with the Asus TR-DLS), I get the message about using "internal" console (vga?), even when the machine is set to use a serial console. I don't know if this is relevant, but in my case I can't use serial. I can also add that -- though I am not much of a progammer -- I will happily test anything that anyone might suggest. My machine is not in production (I built it to do some testing with FreeBSD7 and ZFS), and I can break it without any real consequences. -- greg byshenk - gbyshenk@byshenk.net - Leiden, NL
