 No advice, but I experienced this exact problem last night. I'm running a Tyan
 Tiger LE motherboard, 2x PIII 733, 512M RAM and various other bits. It hangs
 in the exact same spot as yours does, which isn't surprising considering both
 motherboards use essentially the same chipset.
 
 This machine has ran with 4.x in the past, as well as an older 5-CURRENT, but
 I don't have timeframes for either.
 
 I'm fairly certain it's not a hardware problem. Google turns up a few other
 people with the same problem, so I don't think we're alone. I was going to
 fire off an e-mail to the lists today, but figured it would be best just to
 chime in with a me too since you've already got one in.
 
 Thanks,
 Josh

To follow up, I tried the latest -CURRENT build from current.freebsd.org. The
new SMP arrangement works great and the kernel boots fine on the machine, but
I couldn't continue the install once I got past drive partitioning due to some
missing devices related to the Promise IDE RAID array.

So, as it stands, -RELEASE won't run in SMP and -CURRENT will, but -CURRENT
won't install on my machine. Of course, I put all of about five minutes' worth
of effort in to it...

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Josh

Trouble booting a SMP kernel
