When trying to install FreeBSD 7.1-BETA2 (amd64) on a computer with the motherboard ASUS M3A78-EM, the installation freezes with the error message: run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 60 seconds for xpt_config Booting without ACPI, it still freezes, right after: Trying to mount root from ufs:/ufs/md0. I also tried 8.0-HEAD from http://pub.allbsd.org/FreeBSD-snapshots/amd64/8.0-HEAD-20081101-JPSNAP/cdrom/, which resulted in the same error messages. To get it to boot (7.1-BETA2, though I assume 8.0-HEAD will also boot :-)), deactivate firewire in BIOS (discovered after trying all sorts of things). I have no use for firewire so it's not a problem, but maybe it is for someone else. If you want to install 7.0-RELEASE, you also have to deactivate USB (as pointed out by this comment: http://www.vanutsteen.nl/2008/07/21/new-virtualization-server-htpc-machine/#comment-315). I found it to be true for M3A78-EM too.Received on Sun Nov 02 2008 - 11:19:51 UTC
