To get it to boot, I have had to go into the BIOS config and: o disable IEEE 1394 o disable the SECOND (slave) on-board ethernet o enable bus master on the onboard LSI 1030 MPT Otherwise, the boot process hangs after the SCSI bus reset. This problem does not occur on 7-CURRENT now that the mpt(4) driver has been fixed. This was still the case as of a few weeks ago with 6-STABLE/amd64. I'll check it again and let you know if anything has changed. michael
