Hi, Monday, September 30, 2002, 6:28:12 PM, you wrote: I think this is SCSI device settle problem, since default boot has been set up from CD and SCSI ID 0 and disk SCSI ID is 4. Before FreeBSD installation MS NT was working on this computer. After installation FreeBSD, it doesnt start kernel boot but it has found disk and has do partitions. is it possible setting up SCSI device during installion?!? I have tried all installaion procedure but I couldn't found any setting I belive that SCSI contoller isnt work properly. Also maybe FreeBSD hasn't got drive of this controler?!?! Tekram DC - 390F PCI SCSI controller BIOS version V3.20 date 1999-3-29 disk is Quantum Atlas SCSI HD another error had depend on partition I understant but SCSý problem going on. Now it give such kind of error maounting root from ufs:/dev/md0c /stand/sysinstall running as init on vty0 page fault syncing disk done uptime 21 sn --------reboot------ During my search I've found such URL consist of some error code and linux kernel... http://lists.insecure.org/linux-kernel/2000/Feb/1489.html http://www.saclug.org/archive/2000/07/0332.html especially such URL same as my problems http://lists.insecure.org/linux-kernel/2000/Feb/0975.html I decided to this SCSI controller has got some problems about unix and derivatives... :( I couldn't kernel compile in FreeBSD ... I wonder I am wrong? can you advice me? I have done your previous advice during lsdev it couldn't found any device and than founded 12 different kernel error.
