Hello there, This is the fisrt time I'm trying to install FreeBSD. I really like the project and I decided to study it and learn from it. I have not been able to install it in my PC: Motherboard: M754LMR (http://www.pcchips.com.tw/M754LMR.html): Video adapter (onboard): NVIDIDA Aladdin TNT2 Devices (onboard): ALi M1533 PCI to ISA bridge ALi M1621 CPU to PCI bridge ALi M1621 PCI to AGP bridge Processor: Celeron 600MHz Memory: 192MB RAM (-16MB taken to video adapter NVIDIDA Aladdin TNT2 ) Hard Drive: 4GB The problem I'm having is that when the kernel start loading, it gives me the following error. ... pci0: <PCI bus> on pcib0 agp0: <Ali Generic host to PCI bridge> mem 0xd8000000-0xdbffffff at device 0.0 on pci0 panic: contigmalloc1: size must not be 0 Uptime: 0s Automatic reboot in 15 seconds I have search for a posible solution but I have not found anything helpfull. I flash the EPROM of the motherboard with the last version (ftp://ftp.pcchips.com.tw/BIOS/M754LMR/) and it din't work. I'm getting the same error for FreeBSD 4.8 release or 5.1 current, but in different moments. With FreeBSD 4.8 release the installation reach the "Configure X Server" section and allways fail when I specify the video card I have. Then, when I reboot, I receive the error message mentioned above. With FreeBSD 5.1 current the error is show when the Installation CD boots and try to load the kernel. Can someone tell me if this motherboard and configuration is not supported by FreeBSD? What can I do to get my FreeBSD running in this configuration? Thank you in advance, Guillermo
