FreeBSD 5.x installation hangs on Toshiba Tecra A2

[Munehiro Matsuda]

Hello Jamil,

How about setting 'hw.pci.enable_io_modes=0' at loader prompt or
set it in loader.conf? Toshiba laptops seems to need this.

Hope this helps,
  Haro

::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)

::        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
::http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~gaoj/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/FreeBSD/FreeBSDOnLaptop
::
::but it still stalls at the same point.
::
::
::Any Ideas???
::
::Let me know if you need more info
