I disabled SATA in BIOS and I disabled the nVidia RAID setup in BIOS and
got stuck at the same place, except that I don't see the MOD_LOAD error
6 message. The last message I see is the timecounters message.
If I exit to the boot prompt (option 6), then "load amr_linux" it gets
loaded. Module name is amr_linux.ko. I also "set acpi_load=no" to get
around the bad character in the ACPI table issue. Then "boot". Now I see
message saying amr_linux is already loaded. boot sequence continues and
I still hang after the timecounters message.

please CC the list so any useful information ends up in the archives -
specially now that you included far more info :)
Default (option 1), single user
(option 4), and verbose logging (option 5) all fail with an ACPI error
that complains of a bad character in the ACPI table. Option 2 (no ACPI)
and option 3 (Safe mode) fail with the amr_linux MOD_LOAD error 6
message immediately after the timecounters message is issued.
I've also exited to the loader prompt (option 6) and looked for the
amr_linux module. It does not show up in the output of the lsmod
command. I don't know how to tell it not to load the amr_linux module or
amr. How do I do that?
I don't have a RAID card. My motherboard is ASUS A8N-VM CSM and it has
four SATA II connectors. The documentation doesn't say what RAID chipset
is being used. The messages at power on go by too fast for me to read.
In any case, my hard drive is IDE.
have you tried disabling the SATA controller in the BIOS?
could it be that amr is built into GENERIC and causing this issue? ... anyone?

I tried to install the AMD64 build of FreeBSD 6.1. Very early in the
installation right after the Timecounter messages, I get this MOD_LOAD
error 6 and the system hangs:
Timecounter "TSC" frequency 2011163535 Hz quality 800
2 Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec
module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (amr_linux, 0xffffffff806205d0, 0) error 6
have you tried booting in safe mode?
have you tried entering the bootloader command prompt and tell it not to
load the amr_linux (and possibly amr itself) ?
I imagine either of both approaches will leave you without access to your
RAID controller, but you can then test by loading it by hand and seeing if
you can reproduce,etc....
btw, what model of raid card do you have? (it may be useful...)

Two things have come out of Berkeley, Unix and LSD.
It is uncertain which caused the other.
