This might not be relevant to this issue, but how is the AHCI support?
Is AHCI support in 7 or -CURRENT at all?

AHCI support is in RELENG_6 and RELENG_7. AHCI support, in at least
RELENG_7, is generic in the sense that it should
I can confirm the problems mentioned originally by Shaun Sabo. I'm
running FreeBSD-current on a Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard in i386
mode. Since I run current I'm used to certain side effects that
require a livefs to undo some damage :-) I have SATA disks in raid mode
which work just fine.
I think that there is a serious driver problem with my motherboard and
freebsd 7.0 and im not sure if its worth putting too much more work into
trying to get it to run. I think that im going to use the 6.3 release for
now and maybe when 7.1 is released the driver problem will have worked its
way
Safe mode will disable the following things:
A while back I searched source about what Safe did, how to achieve
finer control via loader.conf, made notes:

That was on 7.0BETA3 prerelease, not sure if up to release.

the next step im going
to take is installing 6.2 and remaking the world but adding device
aptic to the kernel.
I think you mean device apic to the kernel?
No, it is device aptic. It was in 6 but removed from 7. I had to add
aptic to get my nforce4-ultra board to boot 7.
the livefs cd links are
7.0-RELEASE
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/7.0/7.0-RELEASE-i386-livefs.iso
7-STABLE
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/200804/7.0-STABLE-200804-i386-livefs.iso
i tried these in vmware and on another computer and neither one drops me
into a shell.

No, it is device aptic. It was in 6 but removed from 7.
so does that mean i need to disable the apic? and are we talking about apic
now or acpi? im getting all these devices confused now. i realize that acpi
is dissabled when you press number 2 at the boot menu but are we talking
about that or apic?

the livefs cds do not drop you into a shell. they drop you into the same

Finally, the behaviour you're experiencing with your machine (re: the

I checked to make sure that the hard disks are not in raid configuration and
there are not. i also checked and my bios are at the latest version
available (A11). also this is an XPS 600 not 700 and i have the correct

FreeBSD 6.2 is very different than 7.0. :-) And you later state that
Linux had the same problem as FreeBSD. And chances are, Dell has tested
