Hi, On a fresh, clean install of 4.7-RELEASE my (old) machine consistently hangs while booting after soft reboot. Powering down and back up again, or pressing the reset button will boot the machine, but if it is rebooted by the OS then it hangs after detecting the isa bus "isa0: <ISA bus> on motherboard".
This is a normal boot up, with the hang point indicated: Copyright (c) 1992-2002 The FreeBSD Project.

Any ideas (or pointers on where to look) ? Obviously rebooting is something I hope not to have to do very often, but it'd be nice to know it would actually work remotely etc. Thanks, DG To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
