Hi all, The problem was solved! This motherboard supports Serial ATA ports, and this option was ON in the BIOS. Turning it OFF, and adjusting the auto-detect mode in the BIOS, solved the problem. FreeBSD's probed the Serial ATA ports I guess and hanged there... Maybe one of the developers might want to add a check for serial ATA in the kernel in future releases... Thanks for all that helped and tried. /Noor | -----Original Message----- | From: owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org | [mailto:owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Wes Peters | Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2003 5:06 PM | To: Noor Dawod; FreeBSD-STABLE Mailing List | Subject: Re: Boot problem on a P4P800-based computer | | | On Thursday 05 June 2003 03:40 am, Noor Dawod wrote: | > Hello all, | > | > I tried sending this message to freebsd-config and freebsd-install, | > after subscribing to them, but no one answered back... so I | am posting | > my question here. | | Neither of those mailing lists has anything to do with what | you're asking. | This is the right place to ask about problems with the -STABLE branch | code. | | > I just downloaded ISO images for 4.8-RELEASE, and prepared them for | > installation on an brand new ASUS P4P800-based computer. | > More information about this motherboard and integrated peripherals | > list, can be found here: | > | > http://www.asus.com/products/mb/socket478/p4p800/overview.htm | > | > I am having a problem booting up the CD-ROM on this | computer.
