FreeBSD 10.2 and Solaris 11.3 boots and installs just fine. I have read the mailing list thread below. thanks for that.
I have no floppy support on this motherboard. I have also disabled the C3 and C6 state in the BIOS. I have also tried to boot up with : -m verbose -v -B iommu-enable=false -B immu-enable=false -B immu-intrmap-enable=false Also tried out -B acpi-user-options=0x2 to completly disable ACPI, and it's the same story. The kernel complains about no ACPI but will hang just on the same spot as always.
