Subject: Probe hangs on ASUS VIA/AMD 761 Chipset Motherboard Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi, I used to run 2.2.5 quite happily on my PC: ASUS VIA/AMD 761 Chipset Motherboard AMD Duron Processor 128MB RAM 3125MB Samsung IDE drive 81MB IDE HD drive However I was having problems running linux emulation properly, so I decided to upgrade. I tried booting from the CD-ROM and the floppies, but the result is the same. After the boot sequence the blue screen comes up with "Probing devices, please wait, this will take some time..." Well, I left it over an hour and with still no joy. If I switch to the other terminal I see the following message: DEBUG: ioctl(3,TIOCCONS,NULL)=0 (success) DEBUG: Can't open PC-card crontroller /dev/card0 ata0-master: timeout waiting to give command=c8 s=e0 e=04 ad0: error executing command - resetting at0 - resetting devices... device disappeared! 3 done ata0-master: timeout waiting to give command=c8 s=e0 e=04 ad0: error executing command - resetting ata0-master: timeout waiting to give command=c8 s=e0 e=04 ad0: error executing command - resetting ata0-master: timeout waiting to give command=c8 s=e0 e=04 ad0: error executing command - resetting Here is what I've tried so far: a) Disabling all and various devices from the initial kernel config. b) Switching the IRQs over (just a guess!) for ata0 and ata1. Nothing I do seems to get beyond the probing devices message. Does anyone have a clue as to what is going wrong?
