Still stalls on xpt_config

Fri Nov 11 00:21:43 UTC 2011

Every 9.0 version I've tried has failed to boot, ending up with:
Still waiting after {60,..,300} seconds for xpt_config.
What's a body to do?  I've tried disabling ACPI, going single,
safe mode.  All on my ASUS M4A785TD-EVO mobo with some amd64 x4.
Any additional info I can provide?

Very thankful for previous help.  Hope somebody here can help.
