I don't think that is the case in my situation.

I am carrying a recent copy of LATEST-Stable.iso and 
dfly-20041222-stable.iso and trying every computer I can get to.

So far any newer chipset doesn't boot with recent copy, but boots with 
the one dated 12/22/2004.

As I mentioned, I have already tried booting on many motherboards and 
bioses not only one.

If it helps developers all these machines can boot recent versions of 
FreeBSD 5.3, NetBSD 2.0, WindowsXP, DragonFlyBSD older than 12/22/2004...

By the minimal number of message(s) in this thread it looks like noone 
else is having the same problem or are you just shy too much to speak?

It would be a great deal if this problem could be solved somehow.


Thanks,
Tomas
