PC-BSD

I downloaded PC-BSD DVD 64bit (amd64) - Complete install + Optional Components and the ISO MD5 Sum checks out. I get as far as the different options for booting but none of the 9 choices ends up in anything thing other than freezing or rebooting.
I have a AMD X2 5000+ Black Edition a AM2+ Gigabyte MOBO and 4 gigs of DDR2800 RAM. A 8800GTS 512 with a Samsung Syncmaster 226BW monitor using the Digital connection.
I am using a SATA 2 Maxtor 250GB for the hard drive. The first attempt I had PCLinuxOS 2009 installed on it and then I read somewhere in a guide here that the installer didn't want to partion so I deleted PCLinuxOS 2009 and tried it with all Free Space on the hard drive. Still No Luck !
The last entry before the automatic reboot is :
cpuid=0
uptime=1s
and then the automatic reboot in 15 secs, press any key on the console to cancel.
It's to bad but I guess I'll just wait for 7.02, I was really looking forward to trying it, but I thought I would let someone know something is askew with this release.

bad disk, or it really doesn't like your computer

nah the same thing happens on my machine intel quad core Q6600 2gb ram,nvidia 8800gt 512mb graphics card. i tryed it ina virtual machine (virtual box) and any of the 9 options results in virtualbox crashing. there must be something that didnt get fixed before the final.

I've the same problem too. (AMD Athlon X2 4200+ and MSI K9n Platinum (nForce 570 MCP)).

Installation form USB goes slightly further: but installer (after hitting damn install button) gives me this: /blah/bldfjm... seek failed: invalid argument. And there are some error reports about partitioning in console (another vt (ctrl+alt+f1)). The disk just isn't partitioned.

I think that both USB and DVD amd64 versions hadn't been properly prepared for release.

sorry for my english

Well, it's not the disk.
I just downloaded the cd version and got the same exact thing.
And by the way, most if not all of the download links are screwed up to. I tried all of the download links for the 64 bit cd #2 and ever link says the file doesn't exist.
I got cd #2 by just going to http://pcbsd.eldorin.net and sure enough there it is, so the links are borked and so is the install CD & DVD.
That's enough trying of PCBSD for me !
Too bad, see you on the next release.

Best way to handle it is to shout loudly at the developers, you can find their emails on contact->team members off the sites top nav bar.
