Hi! I just recently switched to FreeBSD on my primary computer, an Intel Pentium 4 Prescott rig, and I'm loving it. I came from Gentoo Linux, and, if at all possible, I never want to go back. Just a few days ago I set up a dual Intel Xeon Nocona system on the Tyan i7520 (S5360) motherboard. Gentoo Linux installed flawlessly on it, but when I tried FreeBSD, the install disk stopped before it had even fully started. When I select "Verbose Logging" from the start-up menu, it stops immediately after these four lines come up: atkbdc0: <Keyboard Controller (i8042)> port 0x64, 0x60 irq 1 on acpi0 atkbd0: <AT Keyboard> irq 1 on atkbdc0 kbdc: RESET_KBD return code:00fa kbdc: RESET_KBD return status:00aa I've let it run for hours, but it never gets beyond that point. I'm definitely new to FreeBSD, but I'm relatively familiar with computers in general, so the first line of that message tipped me off, and I decided to try to boot it with ACPI disabled. I did, but it still stopped. Here is the last line that was shown before it stopped: cpu0 on motherboard Does anyone know why this is happening and/or has a solution to solve it? Chandler
