Hi, I am using the following hardware configuration: 1- AMD-K6 2 300 Processor 2- 8x64 64MB SDRAM PC100 3- Adaptec 2940 Ultra Wide SCSI 4- IBM 4.3 DCAS-34330, 4.3 GByte disk 5- Diamond Stealth 4000 4MB AGP 6- Sound Blaster 16 PnP 3D 7- FIC Rockwell 56 W/Voice PCI 8- 32X IDE CDROM 9- 1.44 Floppy I decided to install FreeBSD using the CDROM. DOS is not installed in the system. I did not modify BIOS, because the adaptec card is intelligent. It makes the required geometry modifications to the SCSI disk. Please note that the size of the SCSI disk in BIOS is set to > I gigabyte. I partitioned the disk and I selected "A" to use the entire disk. The I labelled the disk and I proceeded to install FreeBSD. The system always hangs while installing software in root. I tried to configure the kernel, but the problem persisted. What do you think the reason for this. Do I have to select a new goemetry? Do you think it is a hardware problem related to the mother board or something else. Please note that the chipset I use is VIA Thanks Omar To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
