then, one of the first steps would be a the dmesg of both a succeeding
and a failing kernels (verbose !)

  I tried the bootonly ISOs for 7.x and 8.x, both amd64 and i386, all of
  which fail to boot on the Dell M600.

 So I was able to binary update from 6.4 to 7.0-RELEASE, but when I tried

    freebsd-update -r 8.0-RC3 upgrade

 After installing after that I get the same hanging I saw with the bootonly
 ISO.  The mpt0 device is loaded, pcib8, but after it hits atrtc0, it
 hangs.

 I'm trying what someone suggested previously -- install 8.0-RC3 using the
 6.4 install disk via the net.  I'm trying that now, but I'm not hopeful.
 I think I need to give up and move on that FreeBSD isn't going to work.
