Okay here's the scenario:

Supermicro x5da8 board with (4) stick of 1024MB RAM-ECC (4GBof RAM)
Dual P4 2.8GHZ Xeons 533MHX FSB
Nothing else but a zero channel RAID card.


Upon installation of FReeBSD 4.7 I recieve no errors, no nothing, it just hangs unpacking various packages, different package, it seems, every time. If I remove 2 of the RAM chips it loads with no problem, boots and is quite happy. (Yes, the memory is good. I've checked and triple checked.) Funky problem or what?

Any suggestions?? Anything at all?

Thanks muchly.

P.S. I know this isn't security related but I didn't think it fit in general chit chat or cosmos, so.....
