Hello,
     Tried installing FreeBSD 5.3 on my toshiba satelite 2400 laptop.

I get to this point.

Doesn't matter which kernel option I use, it always hangs on this part.

Original = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0xf24 Stepping = 4
Features=blah,blah,blah,blah,blah,blah,blah, etc
real memory = 511 MB
avail memory = 487 MB
npx0: [FAST]
npx0: <math processor> on motherboard
npx0: INT 16 interface
acpi0: <TOSHIBA 750> on motherboard\
acpi0: Power Button (fixed)

uhci0: [GIANT-LOCKED]

I've seen several messages where users have the same [GIANT-LOCKED]
problem but the boot up processes continues.But in this situation,
it's not quite the same case. Would anyone be able to offer any
assistance? Thanks!

Tom
