>Description:
When installing FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE and FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE on IBM Thinkpad R30, the installer succeeds installing all selected packages, asks you to reboot. When you reboot to boot into your newly installed FreeBSD 5.0 or 5.1 system, kernel starts loading, and when it starts to load the agp device kernel panic with an uptime of about 10-11 ms. I do not know at this point whether this problem exists in FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE. I will let you know soon, if it does I suspect the workaround I have at the bottom will work.
     
>How-To-Repeat:
use default GENERIC kernel to boot TP R30 on either FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE or 5.0-RELEASE
     
>Fix:
Workaround only.

Use install media (I used floppies) before kernel loads, in BTX boot loader specify root partition ( the one on the hard drive ) boot, once in console, go to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/ copy GENERIC to NEWFILENAME open and comment out the device agp line recompile and boot. After Boot can load agp module for agp support.

example of working kernel as follows:
