Unfortunately, = it hangs in the Freebsd boot-up sequence after the bootloader had loaded = with the last message being: " uhci3: [GIANT-LOCKED]".=20 I think it's related to the bug reported in this link : = http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2004-October/009618.html,= but I'm unable to determine what the best course of action is from = here. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any, if so, how did you = get around it? Many thanks Jim
