But I was lead to believe that this has been fixed. So this suggestion could lead to just nothing. I've had this happen to me on occasion, switching on verbose booting then reveiled that some ._xpt function was trying over and over. Workaround for me at those points was usually to disable those I/O device that had nothing connected to it, starting with Firewire/P1394. Which usually did the trick. - --WjW -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJMSKzJAAoJEP4k4K6R6rBhVSMIAIbEX6fDCy3KV/rLy4taT1Ec ZwiQZmLgHWh6JuKM0afUwfa3zSI2k3Q5uJD+iHj9gzM5RjkE0eIhHXc4hCX/Owes KvMrnAh9Dh04OgFnchhRxiVkNXSvEd95eShYBKA4MUNnyar4NG0+AqK1JBc999fd wF5dHQb/0EPIM6CCg0SNgchcFX0GNO/moaVg/BgflxR5VUPcA4ch3HlIpqycs6w5 SDOD9Sbr8q1sG7zdKmYEw1/fwTFXM4I7U2+ieejDtuTorYh+Vx8S2QUwMVmLBk/M wImvtfxFifzOY7oRlZ0tvPKb6juBF9OU0JYqAfA9ED2K5oiaU5mN+NSPPzUN6G4= =yd9m -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ freebsd-amd64@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-amd64 To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-amd64-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

You have provided no technical details at all. Neither about your hardware nor
about boot process.
BTW, I don't understand what is 'amd64 machine'. 'amd64' is a designator we
use
for 64-bit x86-compatible flavor of FreeBSD.
