I am trying to setup freebsd on a new hp pavilion with the following configuration. cpu: amd64 mem: 1Gb hd: 160 Gb gc: nVIDIA GeForce FX5200XT AGP 8X with 128Mb dvd: 1 nec dvd rw/cd rw cd: 1 cd 48x r sc: integrated sound card not sure on details of it but windows show it as ac97 monitor: sharp 17" lcd I have downloaded and burned 5.2.1 amd64-disc1.iso and disk2 also. But when trying to boot of cd, the boot process starts and after the listing of some devices gets hanged, the last line on the screen is, pcm: measured ac97 link rate at 16109 Hz The hard boot gets the computer start over again. I have tried 5.3 beta3 and no succes there eather. Any pointer to any document or links to help get past this point would be apritiated greatly. thanks esmaeel
