Installation issue with Compaq Presario V3420AU

[Suresh Ramasamy]

Hello all,

I'm currently trying to install FreeBSD into a Compaq Presario V3420AU 
with the following specs

Microprocessor: 2.0 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology TL-60
Memory: 2048 MB (2 x 1024 MB)
Video Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150
Hard Drive 160 GB (5400 rpm)
Multimedia Drive Super Multi 8X DVD±RW with Double Layer Support
Display 14.1” WXGA High Definition BrightView Widescreen (1280 x 800)
Fax/Modem High speed 56K modem
Network Card Integrated 10/100 Ethernet LAN
Wireless Connectivity: Broadcom 802.11 a/b/g WLAN

Here's the problem

1. Installing with FreeBSD 7.0 RC1 amd64
- Boot up crashes with scrolling screen of the register values (non 
stop). Happens while the bootloader is running (-/|\).
2. Installing with FreeBSD 6.3 amd64
- Same issue as 1.
3. Installing with FreeBSD 6.3 i386 / 7.0 RC1 i386
- boot up with hint.acpi.0.disabled=1
- Shows error message with BTX Halted
- also tried setting hw.ata.ata_dma=0 and/or hw.ata.atapi_dma=0 , same 
problem

Here are the following register values shown on BTX Halted (for FreeBSD 
6.3 i386)

efl=00010002 eip=00000003 eax=00449130 ecx=004f010f edx=0003fa40 
esp=000928b0

Values for FreeBSD 7.0 RC1 i386

efl=00010097 eip=00459160 eax=00459a30 ecx=a0000075 edx=00e2c3f0

Any suggestions?
