When the loader menu pops up, choose the "escape to loader prompt" option, then type 'set hint.mpt.0.msi_enable=0' followed by 'boot'. There's no guarantee this will help, btw, just something to try out first. If that doesn't work, you can also try setting 'machdep.kdb_on_nmi=0' using the same trick. If that still doesn't help, please boot another OS that does and get the output of 'lspci -v' or 'pciconf -lvb' or equivalent so we can see exactly which mpt adapter it is. I think there is one class of mpt(4) cards that we do not yet support properly. Ah, yes, this PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=149220 I think this may in fact be your adapter. This was fixed after 9.0, so try a 9.1-RC1 install disk instead and see if it works better. -- John Baldwin
