To get more info you may try to boot with verbose kernel messages enabled. Also as soon as you are updating, I would suggest you to try new 7.3, or even better 8-STABLE. 8-STABLE includes significant changes in ATA subsystem, including completely new AHCI driver ahci(4). -- Alexander Motin _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
