>Description:
I am unable to so much as boot from the release DVD on my machine.

The machine is a model MacBookPro5,1 with 2.93 GHz Intel Core2 Duo
"Penryn". Holds 4GB of RAM.

I am at a loss for what I can provide. The boot menu freezes if I select
an option and it does not count down. However, if I leave it for some
time, it will attempt to boot, but only gets a short way before
permanently stalling.

A linked photo displays where the console output is at the time of the hang.

 Hi Miah,
     Have you tried the directions posted here yet :

 Thanks,

 I have seen this, yes. Oddly, I managed to read most of it (I remember =
 the text of section 15) but totally missed that section saying "FreeBSD =
 8.0 issues".
 
 I kind of hope however that I'm not needing to actually revert to =
 r189055. That would be reverting 13 months of code and I don't even know =
 how to commit such changes to an installation disk. I'm actually new to =
 the FreeBSD scene. (My friend suggests that I can revert just that one =
 change, but again, I don't know where to begin with that)
 
 The other issue is that I can't enter Fixit mode. I can't actually get =
 that far. Every option, including option seven (reboot) will stall.=

 As an added note, I cannot get 7.3-RELEASE to work either. A friend of =
 mine told me that one way to revert that aforementioned change was to =
 install 7.3, revert that one change, and rebuild world.
 
 But I can't install that either. I get two different types of kernel =
 panic here.
 
 The first, as a normal boot:

 The second, with ACPI disabled or under safe mode:

 It's worth note that the second scrolls some sort of multiline repeated =
 message but scrolls so fast I can't tell what it's saying.
 
 Anyway, I can't seem to install either version as this point.=

 Has there been any progress on this issue? I can't reasonably install any
 version of FreeBSD to do the revert myself. Moreover, why hasn't the revert
 been done in the mainline repository?
