The install once again hung right around the time when the system would normally announce "Timecounters tick every xxx msec". Since disabling ACPI and PnP doesn't seem to help, I'm wondering what might have changed between 6.x and 7.3 as it relates to the kernel bootstrapping process at this stage? I am actually netbooting this install, so I have the ability to compile a custom kernel to troubleshoot this further. I'd really like to install 8.0 on this hardware and get a few more years of life out of it.
