Take a photo and put it up somewhere (http://imagebin.ca/ if nowhere else).
If scroll lock still works, you can take pictures of earlier output (and
if caps/scroll/num lock don't work, that is a useful piece of information).

This is produced when the ATA subsystem is trying to read RAID
metadata off the disk and just means it failed to find any.  It's
not an error.  Can you post more context please.

According to my quick look at the code, that message isn't necessarily a
hint to the problem.  Do you have a RAID array in the machine?

How can I do this if the systeem freezes???


Good old fashioned pen + paper (as long as it's not too long). Never 
fails.


Main problem is:
ad0: FreeBSD check1 failed

I googled but didn't find any solution.
Does anyone have a clue where to find the solution?

Can you try to paste exactly what was on the screen before the "freeze" for
both 6.4 and 7.0?

Thanks.

The hardware is a Targa Visonary 2700XP, AMD 2700+ CPU, mem 1 GB
