 Hi!
 i have the same problem. ASUS-A7N8X deluxe mainboard. bios upgraded to
 last version.
 first installation for 5.4 goes well. after first reboot i cannot boot any
 5.4 and 6.0 release. only < 5.3 boots.
 the system hang up after disk recognisation. (i have 2 eide ibm and 1 sata
 maxtor. i want to install freebsd on secondary eide disk).
 the only error code i can see is "mptable_probe: MP Config Table has bad
 signature: "...
 please help me
 bye
