>Description:
I bought that $199 Microtel machine from Wal-Mart. It's got a ASRock
K7S41GX motherboard in it. As soon as the kernel loads when I try to
install the OS, the machine hangs. This is the case for 4.11 and 5.4.
(I also tried installing OpenBSD 3.7 with the same results.) This machine
runs various Linux distributions fine, it runs Windows fine, and it even
runs ReactOS, the pre-alpha open-source Windows clone.
>How-To-Repeat:
Get your hands on one of those Wal-Mart Microtel machines
(http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=3356850) and try
installing on it. You might also just try installing on a machine with
an ASRock K7S41GX motherboard, to see if it works there.

To submitter:  Firstly, I'm sorry that this PR has sat for so long without 
anyone looking at it.  Can you tell me, is this still a problem with newer 
versions of FreeBSD?

Close this PR, the submitter no longer has the system to test, and 
Google shows other reports of people successfully using FreeBSD on this 
motherboard.
