Unable to boot FreeBSD Live-CD on Acer Extensa 5220

Hi,

After a long time I wanted to give FreeBSD another try. But if I want to boot the live CD or stick on my laptop it stops after showing some USB speeds. For this post I enabled the verbose boot messages, visible on the attached photo.

Tried the 32Bit and the 64Bit version from CD and from stick.

What can I do?

Kind regards,
Robert

The installation of FreeBSD 8.2 was working until I did the update. :D

Thanks for all the hints so far. If someone has a useful tip I'll try it again. For now I stay with linux.

You mean this is on 9.0 and it worked fine on 8.2? In that case you should definitely submit a detailed regression PR.

PR?

I can't be more detailed. There are no log files and information what it does. It just stops.
 
Yes, and this is where it should be reported.

Reporting a regression should go through the page mentioned above. Just be as detailed as you can and mention everything you're doing.
