Trying to install LINUX on rather high performance Hardware There is constantly the Problem of freezing the system of this configuration : The Motherboard is a Jetway 848 BS with an AMD Athlon 1400 MHZ and an ALI M1649 + M1535D Chipset ( according to manual ) which consists of : Ali M1533 Aladdin IV ISA Bridge Ali M5229 IDE Controller Ali M1647 Northbridge Ali M7101 Power Management Ali M5451 AC -link Controller (Sound ) Ali USB 1.1 USB - Controller that is according to /proc/pci of LINUX The Disk - Controller is a UltraDMA100 IDE Controller with ALI M5229 Chipset. I use 1024 MB of SDRAM 2-2-2 Infinion. The Harddisks are IBM DTLA 307015 for booting and root partition and IBM Deskstar IC35L100 for /home. The Graphicboard is a Jetway RV100 ATI Radeon VE QY with 64MB RAM. I tried to run LINUX with a 2.4.19-195 Kernel ( modified SuSE 8.1) but the System freezes undefined on unknown conditions without any warnings or messages. The UDMA100 - mode doesn't work on SuSE 8.1 either. So I tried the newer kernel 2.4.29-195; but no improvements. Also Knoppix with kernel 2.4.19-xfs has the same problem. Is it possible to run FreeBSD on this Hardware ? thanX in Advance Helmut To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
