Thanks for the update. I strongly believe now it is the GeForce 8200 chipset (aka MCP78). I have found a few posts on other forums with users expressing the same hang issue. The cases weren't with the same mobo, but it was the same chipset. Here is one example: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=941420 See message #3. Keywords: FreeBSD 7.0 GeForce 8200 hangs So, steer clear of GeForce 8200 for FreeBSD (at least for the 7.0 release). -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/FreeBSD-7-load-hangs-on-boot-tp21039625p21076723.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
