List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 02 Mar 2005 15:46:24 -0000 I had the unfortunate tragedy of a power failure at my hosting noc, my server lost almost all its data (thank god for backups) it's now an opportune time to upgrade my 5.1 install to 5.3, however i get several problems when trying to install, if i run off of the cd for install, i get a hex dump and "BTX halted" at the bottom. Similar to this: int=0000000d err=00000000 efl=00030246 eip=0000ffff eax=8000f000 ebx=00000000 ecx=0000feff edx=00000082 esi=00000002 edi=0000000c ebp=00000002 esp=0000fffc cs=cc00 ds=9ec0 es=44ac fs=0000 gs=0000 ss=9d58 cs:eip=ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ss:esp=ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff BTX halted this is not mine and i don't have access to my box's console right now. However if i use the floppies i can get all the way through to the setup, however multiple ATA_IDENTIFY errors crop up. I have 1 ide 60G disk and two 150G sata disks, all of the disks have this error and setup says that i don't have any disks to install to. I know that there is a workaround mentioned in this problem report: i386/73706 jhb ATA_IDENTIFY timed out under FreeBSD 5.3 However, that looks to be for an upgrade or at least assuming the os is already installed. My question is how would i make this patch effective so that i can run an install onto my IDE drive? Thanks, Shaun
