Disabling anything in the BIOS such as PS/2 mouse function, etc. 3. Assigning specific IRQ in the BIOS to my ISA card (although it is a PnP SB16 card). 4. Removing all cards other than the DPT and video card. 5. Moving DPT around to different slots. 6. Changing the m/b with another unit of the same made and model. 7. Compile the kernel with a number of DPT options on/off. DPT and Asus board simply won't cooperate. Changing the m/b to Air P6KDI makes things work instantly. I think I am about to incinerate the m/b... :-) The wierd thing is that using the DPT freebsd boot floopy from sandero, it did successfully boot up the system.
