7.2-x86 doesn't like newish amd hardware.
post the output of: pciconf -lv as well as dmesg. Also your rc.conf and
PolicyKit.conf files might be useful.

Hi,
I have solved most of the problems listed in my previous message with
help from Roland Smith.
The fact still remains that FreeBSD-7.2 has some definite problems on
AMD hardware :
1) On multi-core systems, the cores don't get initialized properly and
you get messages like : "AP #1 (PHY# 1) failed !" followed by panic. The
solution is to reboot, maybe as many as 6-7 times.
2) The uhub/ums module fails to load and /dev/ums0 consequently won't
get created. The workaround is to unplug your USB mouse just before the
boot process begins, and plug it back in once you get the console.
I have googled for the above 2 problems and there seem to many folks
suffering from the ills, with no solution except the ones I have listed
above. And these problems almost always occur on AMD multi-core systems.
I hope the next release will address these problems, as well as a pretty
reasonable request from me much earlier to move vi from /usr/bin to
/bin. Even in single-user mode, you almost always need an editor.
