Re: System hangs for 30 minutes before booting normally into freebsd 6.0

This is unlikely to solve your problem, but it will ease tracking down what probe is giving you problems: build a custom kernel removing devices you aren't using. See if you get any more information there. Then try disabling ACPI; I wouldn't be surprised if your system had no support for it anyway. And maybe try a verbose boot without ACPI. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Also, try toggling 'pnp os installed' in the bios.
