I attempted to do a test install of FreeBSD 6.1 ISO on a new machine I was
building, the specs were: *AMD AM2 5000+ dual core *Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe Motherboard *1GBx4 Mushkin ddr2 800Mhz *750GBx4 S-ATA Seagate Barracuda Hard Drive (Tested with and without motherboard
NV RAID in 0+1 mode with the same results) *ATI Radeon 1800 video card *standard dvd-rom

When attempting to boot in verbose and non verbose mode the machine would hang
(to the best of what I recall) on the hard drives.

I've had the same experience with my brand new and shiny amd64 equipmnent...:

Mainboard -> ASUS M2N-E (nforce 570 - *no* SLI)

Both 7.0-CURRENT-200607 and 6.1-STABLE-200607 (july) snapshots failed. The 7.0-CURRENT-200608 passed the disk probes, and indeed finished the install, but was subject to a massive interrupt storm.

As of today (2006-sep-16) the problem is solved in both 7-CURRENT and 6-STABLE (soon to be 6.2-RELEASE), I verified personally with 2 home-built snapshot CDROMs.

I think this PR can be closed (FIXED). http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=101873
