 I'm sorry I no longer have FreeBSD installed on this machine.  The
 symptoms were a hang part way through the install (sysinstall would see
 the drives etc).  If I installed with ACPI off and then booted the
 installed OS with it on again then I would get a hard hang within a
 minute.  Disabling ACPI helped, disabling the APIC also helped.

 Regards/Mark

 We need more details (such as a dmesg from 6.x and a dmesg from 5.4) to 
 investigate further. Also, can you clarify what you mean by &quot;doesn't 
 install?&quot; Does sysinstall not see any hard drives, does it not boot at all, 
 does it boot part way and then hang, etc.?
