I'm wondering why loader loads kernel and kernel modules very slowly. [M/B and CPU info] # dmidecode (snip) Base Board Information Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. Product Name: EP45-UD3LR Version: x.x Serial Number: (snip) Version: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Voltage: 1.0 V External Clock: 333 MHz Max Speed: 4000 MHz Current Speed: 2500 MHz Status: Populated, Enabled Upgrade: Socket 478 (snip) Maximum Memory Module Size: 1024 MB Maximum Total Memory Size: 4096 MB (snip) # FreeBSD amd64 on the other work pc (E6600, DP965LT, 2GB mem), loader works incredible slow, but after I changed BIOS CMOS config turning AHCI off, it works very well. So I am doubting AHCI works well, but turing off AHCI feature of EP45-UD3LR M/B, amd64 loader still remains in very slow working. Anyone has any ideas?
