Welcome on-board. http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?44F2C9C6.7040907 (look also for referenced messages) > It looks like nforce5 are not supported jet > is this true? Not entirely. It is almost working: too bad as soon as the SATA disks are probed, the system is overflowed by a massive interrupt storm. > Ive try with the iso snapshots of STABLE and CURRENT of august. 7-CURRENT with one disk only is able to complete setup (very slowly), though the problem is still present (try vmstat -i). 6-STABLE completely HANG as per your report. The same does 7-CURRENT with more than one ATA channel used: i.e. you can boot if you put two disks on ports SATA1 and SATA2 (ata2 master and slave), but it hangs if you try SATA1 and SATA3 (ata2-master and ata3-master). Unfortunately there wasn't any ack from interested party (I suspect it may be linked to ATA-SATA and/or ACPI routing of IRQ), so I think there are no developers in possess of that MB. Angelo.
