I press any option except install prompt and it fails. =20 I have : Gateway ALR 9200 4 processor xeon 500's=20 1 gig ram=20 1 adaptec 3200S scsi card running modified raid 5 6 drives. 2 sets of striped 3 and mirrored. =20 I am having a difficult time finding anything that will load in this = box.=20 I prefer FreeBSD if possible. I've googled for a couple days and didn't = find much help. Can someone help me get past this first hurdle? =20 The OS I am loading is currently FreeBSD 5.3=20 I went to adaptec and found some information about FreeBSD 4.11 and = tried that version as well.=20 I can get Solaris 10 to load but it fails to find the raid as a valid = drive. Fedora Core 2 also boots and says it can't find a drive. The Raid boots up fine and builds with no faults.=20 I have an adaptec driver for FeeBSD but I need to install enough OS to pkg_add the file. =20 When I install a little 850 meg IDE drive and set that to master, Still = the btx loader dies. Here is what the final screen says: =20 /boot/kernel/acpi.ko text=3D0x3fbfc data=3D0x1c04+0x112c syms=3D[0x4+0x72f0+0x4+0x97c7]=20 /=20 int=3D0000000d err=3D00000000 efl=3D00030002 eip=3D00005755 eax=3D00000001 ebx=3D00000008 ecx=3D000039ff edx=3D00000082=20 esi=3D0000579c edi=3D0000e873 edi=3D000003ba esp=3D0000037e=20 cs=3Df000 ds=3D0040 es=3Df000 fs=3D9dc0 gs=3Df000 ss=3D9c46=20 cs:eip=3D2e 0f 01 14 0f 20 c0 0c-01 0f 22 c0 eb 00 8e db 8e c3 8e e3 8e eb 0f 20-c0 24 fc 0f 22 c0 ea 78 ss:esp=3D11 64 08 00 01 00 00 00-00 f0 c0 9d 02 02 51 e8 05 00 c2 ee 05 00 00 f0-00 00 1a 7d c4 5e dd e6=20 BTX Halted =20 I think I copied all that correctly. =20 Has anyone got a quick idea why this fails right off? =20 Brian Duke 303-952-4983 Blue Incorporated. -=3D-_-=3D=3D--=3D_-=3D=83=20 =20
