In all versions the loader stops just after the message: Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/md0 This system has the Intel=AE X58 Express chipset and a 4 core W3520 Xeon CP= U. I've tried various BIOS settings and turning off CPU core, hyperthreading= =20 etc. I expect the problem is in the motherboard's Intel=AE X58 Express chi= pset. If anyone has any experience with a similar system using this chipset, let= =20 me know if you did anything to make it boot the install CD.
