Have you customized the kernel for the machine? Or are you running the GENERIC kernel. I have had 2 sites report ASUS-PCI/I-486SP3G boot hangs when using the GENERIC kernel (though I can not duplicate them here) that went away once they built a kernel specifically for the hardware they had. Have you triple checked your SCSI bus termination, and when the hang happens does your SCSI drive LED tend to be on solid indicating a scsi bus hang? -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
