FreeBSD 5.x installation hangs on Toshiba Tecra A2

[Jamil Ahmed]

Hello,

I am having trouble installing FreeBSD 5.x on my laptop (the processor is
Intel Centrino 1.7GHz). I have tried 5.3 and now 5.4, the load stops at the
same place for both. FreeBSD 4.10 installs fine. I have tried the normal
boot and also boot with ACPI disabled without luck. The following is the
tail end of the output when booting with verbose output

pcib0: slot 2 INTA routed to irq 10 via \_SB_.LNKA
found-> vendor=0x8086, dev=0x3582, revid=0x02
        bus=0, slot=2, func=0
        class=03-00-00, hdrtype=0x00, mfdev=1
        cmdreg=0x0007, statreg=0x0090, cachelnsz=0 (dwords)
        lattimer=0x00 (0 ns), mingnt-0x00 (0 ns), maxlat=0x00 (0 ns)
        intpin=a, irq=10
        powerspec 1 supports D0 D1 D3 current D0
        map[10]: type 3, range 32, base 00000000, size 27, memory disabled


the install just stalls at this point.


I have tried the suggestions in previous posts relating problems with other 
toshiba models at the folliwing link

but it still stalls at the same point.


Any Ideas???

Let me know if you need more info



Thanks,

Jamil Ahmed
