freebsd stable - May 2009 - run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 300 seconds for xpt_config

Hallo,

I've just tried 7.2-RELEASE (amd64) on Asus M3A78-EM motherboard and 
booting got stuck with the following:

run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 300 seconds for xpt_config

 From what I've found via Google it should be fixed already but 
apparently it is not. :-(

Is there a way to work around this issue and successfully boot and 
install FreeBSD, please ?

Thanks,

Martin

Do you have a connected firewire device?  Try unplugging it during bootup,
or kldload the sbp module after bootup instead of via loader.conf.
