Hello list, I am seeing a strange issue with my Dell Inspiron 530 with 8.0 RC1-p1 at around 50-75% percent of all boots. It all boils down to GENERIC throwing the following: AP #1 (PHY #1) failed! panic y/n? [y] panic: bye-bye cpuid = 0 However, this only happens when booting from the hard disk. A boot from the install CD works perfectly every time. Testing the machine with 7.2 last night revealed the same issue, so this is not specific to 8.0 As an interesting side-note: the odds of a successful boot increase dramtically when cold-booting. Rebooting from e.g. Linux or Windows seems to push the failure-rate to around a 100% every time. The system itself is almost completely Intel. Some specifications: Intel 82801 PCI Bridge Intel G33/G31/P35/P31 PCIe Intel ICH9 SMBus If anyone needs any more information just let me know. My incentive to provide the information that is needed to get a fix for this is rather high as this problem stops me from using FreeBSD on a machine that shows no other problems with either Linux or Windows. :-) Thank you, Christian
