Can you try 8.1-RELEASE or an 8.1-STABLE snapshot instead? I mean,
you
*are* using an Intel Atom system, which contains significantly more
advanced hardware than was available during the RELENG_6 days.
Oh, I think you answer this further down...
If I boot with no acpi it does the same thing.
If I boot with safe mode it comes up and identifies the drive but
then
starts spewing the following errors:

FreeBSD runs but I continue to get these errors:
What exactly does safe mode do - I am afraid my forth skills are not
what they should be.
"Safe mode" does the following before doing "boot":
set hw.ata.ata_dma=0
set hw.ata.atapi_dma=0
set hw.ata.wc=0
set hw.eisa_slots=0
set hint.kbdmux.0.disabled=1
It also does the following if you're booting/running i386:
unset acpi_load
set hint.acpi.0.disabled=1
set loader.acpi_disabled_by_user=1
set hint.apic.0.disabled=1
The code is in /boot/beastie.4th.
IMHO, you shouldn't be disabling ACPI, or using "safe mode" to try and
get your system working. Can you please boot Verbose mode instead and
provide all of the output somewhere? You'll probably need serial
console for this, since the system hangs.

Your storage controller is an Intel ICH8, which is supported by
FreeBSD,
but the ATA layer differs greatly between 6.x and 8.x (read: better on
8.x). AHCI is also well-supported on 8.x if your system/BIOS supports
it.
I am stuck for now on 6.3 so moving to a later release 7+ is not
feasible.
Can you explain why? (If I don't ask it, someone else will.) This
will
almost certainly be the key to this discussion, especially since you
say:
I am supporting over 700 units in the field that are acting as
firewall/router/vpn devices,
that are running 6.3. It would not be feasible to upgrade them to a
new version of FreeBSD
remotely. Also if I was going to move to a later release of FreeBSD
for the new hardware
it would involve months of new testing and validation of the new
release, where putting a patched
6.3 kernel is relatively straightforward.
I'm a little confused. Did you deploy over 700 field units running
FreeBSD 6.3 without testing it first on this particular piece of
hardware/setup? Or did you recently upgrade from FreeBSD X.Y to 6.3 and
found that things broke? What I'm trying to find out is whether or not
these systems ever worked for you, and if so, at what point did they
stop working.
Sorry for the confusion. We have a mix of hardware in the field. The
current
hardware platform we are shipping is going EOL from the vendor. I am
testing
the vendors next generation of hardware.
I included at the end a verbose startup using the 6.3 install disc.
Possibly we can work backwards to figure out what code
change/commit broke things for you. Keep reading for some ideas.
First question: are you using any parameters in /boot/loader.conf or
/boot.config? If so, what are they?
Second question: can you provide your kernel configuration file?
As for the verbose boot -- thanks much. Appropriate folks should be
here on the list, so if they have ideas they'll probably reply. A quick
analysis indicates the following:
ata0 --> atapci0 --> Intel ATA controller master, IDE/PATA, IRQ 14
ata1 --> atapci0 --> Intel ATA controller slave, IDE/PATA, IRQ 14
ata2 --> atapci1 --> Intel ATA controller master, IDE/PATA, IRQ 15
ata3 --> atapci1 --> Intel ATA controller slave, IDE/PATA, IRQ 15
A single device is found on ata2, but no other devices are found on the
other ATA busses:
ata2: reset tp2 stat0=50 stat1=00 devices=0x1<ATA_MASTER>
That probably correlates with what you see when you boot "safe mode",
since there we see this message:
ad4: 152627MB<WDC WD1600BEKT-00A25T0 01.01A01> at ata2-master PIO4
However, there's other messages which are a serious concern, given their
association with the ATA controller in question:
interrupt storm detected on "irq15:"; throttling interrupt source
interrupt storm detected on "irq15:"; throttling interrupt source
interrupt storm detected on "irq15:"; throttling interrupt source
interrupt storm detected on "irq15:"; throttling interrupt source
You might try escaping to the loader prompt (I forget what menu item it
is on 6.x, might be item 6) and entering the following commands. These
are the 3 things I'd try first, and in this order:
1) set hint.apic.0.disabled=1
boot
2) set hw.ata.ata_dma=0
boot
3) set hint.apic.0.disabled=1
set hw.ata.ata_dma=0
set hint.kbdmux.0.disabled=1
boot
If any of these work (I'm hoping #1 or #2 suffices), you can add the
appropriate lines to your /boot/loader.conf without the "set" portion
and they should be retained going forward.
Unfortunately none of the above worked. Here is a verbose startup from
the
generic kernel on the 6.3 install disk. Note: when I used the safe for
the install
it actually went into the install program and didn't hang - though I
did see the
interrupt storm message right before sysinstall ran.

Why does FreeBSD think I have a rocket raid controller? This the generic
kernel.
Is there some way disable this from loading?
When I boot the 7.2 install disk it doesn't say anything about finding
hptrr:
