Hello,
     Discovered on how to fix the problem.

Laptop specific too. Maybe this will help others too.

Hello,
     Tried installing FreeBSD 5.3 on my toshiba satelite 2400 laptop.

I get to this point.

Doesn't matter which kernel option I use, it always hangs on this part.

Original = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0xf24 Stepping = 4
Features=blah,blah,blah,blah,blah,blah,blah, etc
real memory = 511 MB
avail memory = 487 MB
npx0: [FAST]
npx0: <math processor> on motherboard
npx0: INT 16 interface
acpi0: <TOSHIBA 750> on motherboard\
acpi0: Power Button (fixed)
Timecounter "ACPI-safe" freqiemcy 3579545 Hz quality 1000
acpi_timer0: <24-bit timer at 3.579545Mhz> port 0xee08-0xee0b on acpi0
cpu0: <ACPI CPU ( 3 Cx states)> on acpi0
acpi_tz0: <Thermal Zone> on acpi0
pcib0: <ACPI Host-PCI bridge> port 0xf8-0xvff on acpi0
pci0: <ACPI PCI bus> on pcib0
agp0: <Intel 82845 host to AGP bridge> mem 0xe00000000-0xefffffffffff

pcib1: <ACPI PCI-PCI bridge> at device 1.0 on pci0
pci1: <ACPI PCI bus> on pcib1
pci1: <DISPLAY, VGA> at device 0.0 (no driver attached)
uhci0: <Intel 82801CA/CAM (ICH3) USB Controller USB-A> port
00xefe0-=0xefff  irq 11 at device 29.0 on pci0
uhci0: [GIANT-LOCKED]

I've seen several messages where users have the same [GIANT-LOCKED]
problem but the boot up processes continues.But in this situation,
it's not quite the same case. Would anyone be able to offer any
assistance? Thanks!

Tom
