I'm installing on an intel DG965ss motherboard for the core 2 duo. The
hdd is sata, but the cdrom (sony dru-120c drd/cd writer) is on an ide
channel. Is there any reason why freebsd wouldn't be able to find this
drive. It boots off of it fine.
In order to boot, I'm using (thanks to John Baldwin) 'set
hint.apic.0.disable=1'. Would this be giving me problems finding the cdrom?
In case it's at all helpful: I have tried installing suse and
slackware, neither of which can find the cdrom. I am having the same
problem with a pioneer dvr-710 dvd/cd writer.
Is this a motherboard problem?
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Great, that worked....but now it can't find the cdrom to install from.
SATA? I believe that SATA ATAPI devices aren't supported yet. :( You should
still be able to install via FTP though if needed. Which option fixed
things?

If on boot, then can you tell me how?
You can do it in the boot loader. Just break into the loader and do
things
like 'set hint.apic.0.disabled=1' to disable APIC, or s/apic/acpi/ to
disable
ACPI. The 'safe mode' option in the loader menu disables both.

I'm having trouble installing FreeBSD on the following system:
Intel Desktop Board DG965SS motherboard
Intel Core Duo 2.8GHz
1GB Memory
1 SATA hard-drive
1 dvd/cd-burner sony dru-120c
Here's the problem:
When I boot the install, I get:
Too many holes in the physical address space, giving up
Too many holes in the physical address space, giving up
Too many holes in the physical address space, giving up

You can probably ignore those.
and then the system hangs at either this line:
Interrupt storm detected on "irq17:"; throttling interrupt source
or sometimes, I actually get into the install screen, but the response
is ridiculously slow. ie- I press the down arrow, and 30 seconds
later,
it respons, but eventually it just hangs completely.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Try disabling ACPI and/or APIC as a test.
