I just installed 6.1 on a new laptop (Dell XPS M1210).
It has
a 2Ghz Intel Core2 Duo processor and two gigs ram. Every
time
it gets to the part in the bootup where you have to type
a
bunch of random junk it goes into a reboot. It's not an
abrupt reboot. FreeBSD does show it is initiating the
reboot.
This is the error that is reported right before the
reboot happens:
panic: driver error: busdma dflt_lock called
cpuid = 1
Uptime: 12s
Cannot dump. No dump device defined
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds -b fe0: link state
changed to DOWN
Does anyone know what I can do at this point?

google it up, plenty of resources, could be lots of
things. But first check your hardware:

Being I do not have anything important on the laptop and
have a complete image of the HD prior to installing
FreeBSD, I decided to try loading 7.0-CURRENT from the
ISO. It was a success. I have now CVSUP'd the sources and
have completed a buildworld and buildkernel without any
issues. I've also installed X and have KDE running.
Thanks for your suggestion. I have looked at a number of
things and will proceed down that path if I run into
anything with 7.0.
