I am getting my feet wet with FreeBSD 5.3 and have managed get a working gnome desktop with sound.
I am having a problem during boot on an MSI M7VIG Pro D motherboard that uses the Via KM266 chipset. I guess the chipset supports up to 6 usb2.0 ports but my case only had had two front ports. Two of the motherboard usb ports are unconnected. During boot there is a very long pause before it is disables uhub2.. The pertainent parts or dmesg follow:
uhci0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
usb0: <VIA 83C572 USB controller> on uhci0
usb0: USB revision 1.0
uhub0: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1
uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered
uhci1: <VIA 83C572 USB controller> port 0xd400-0xd41f irq 21 at device 16.1 on pci0
uhci1: [GIANT-LOCKED]
usb1: <VIA 83C572 USB controller> on uhci1
usb1: USB revision 1.0
uhub1: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1
uhub1: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered
uhci2: <VIA 83C572 USB controller> port 0xd800-0xd81f irq 21 at device 16.2 on pci0

usb2: USB revision 1.0
uhub2: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1

long pause here

My /boot/loader.conf file is empty.
This is the output of my /boot/device.hints file:

_____________________________________________________
I tried selecting option 6 after F1 the bootloader prompt and passing these options
1) OK set hint.uhci.2.disabled=1 OK boot
2) OK set hint.uhub.2.disabled=1 OK boot
3) OK set hint.usb.2.disabled=1 OK boot
but still had the same pause.
I got some advice at a newbies newsgroup that walked me through this but the thread has
become silent. Any ideas/advice appreciated.
