Hi :) I'm using FreeBSD-5.2-RELEASE-p2 and I'm experiencing a very serious problem. When my cdrom is connected (slave on first IDE slot), FreeBSD hangs on boot at: Timecounter "TSC" frequency 2399937676 Hz quality 800 Timecounters tick every 10.000 msec There's no error, no panic, no messages whatsoever, it just stays like this and stop booting. I set IDE1/slave to NONE is my bios, so the cdrom would not be discovered on boot (temporary solution until it works), but I get the same problem... it just hangs. For now, the only solution is to unplug the cdrom... :( Just to make sure this was not hardware related, Linux and Windows boot fine on the same box with the cdrom pluged-in. FreeBSD also boots fine when the cdrom is alone (slave or master) on its IDE slot. If you have any idea I would really appreciate. Thanks in advance. Regards, Antoine
