Sorry that i replied this late. I intended to wait a couple of days and forget about it. I got some general idea's but no solution. The first thing you could try is installing 4.5. If this does work, then the new ata driver could be a problem. The second thing to try is to install the boot image on to a small partition and boot from that. A swap partition can used (and reused) for this. The thirty thing is to resend the mail to this list. Somebody could have missed your mail. If that doesn't work you could try one of the other list. (like hackers or hardware) I hope you find anything of my writing useful. -- Best regards/Met vriendelijke groet, Alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
