Hi, thanks for your reply and suggestion.

I downloaded FreeBSD 6.2 Beta2 and tried to boot it on Dell
Precision 390. It failed with the same sympton as before
(upgrade 6.1 release by cvsup and buildkernel/buildworld).

The BCM5754 device is recognized (wrongly) as BCM5787, folloed
by a kernel trap 19.

This problem effectively makes FreeBSD 6.2 Beta2 unusable on
any new Dell Precision machines. Please help, anyone? Thanks
in advance!
