This looks very, very similar to what I had once, on similar hardware=20 (4x Xeon 7xxx, SuperMicro). I didn't find a solution and didn't bother=20 since the box isn't intended for FreeBSD. I did find (by accident) a=20 curious workaround: I booted Linux (I used Ubuntu 8.04 amd64 LiveCD -=20 just to boot it, without installing), then rebooted and booted FreeBSD - = worked every time, but it's obviously not a long-term solution. If you=20 can also verify that this "solves" the problem, then someone might work=20 with you to produce a patch. --------------enig899545A8553D6D1895136ECB Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIoLr2ldnAQVacBcgRAg3oAKCZ5rGMcGzD8V7K5BnChJWGR/roNwCeJZk2 rA2viqp5fSGOvYLVyM7uC0Y= =6ko9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig899545A8553D6D1895136ECB--
