I am trying to install the 2.2.6 release on a IBM Thinkpad
770ED Model with DVD, 128MB RAM, 8.0GB HDD, 3COM 3C589D-TP.
The initial install was problem free, however, the initial
reboot locked the machine. When I turn the machine on, the
boot process gets as far as the probe for the hard drive and
beeps 5 times and locks. Sometimes this occurs after
probing the fd0 device.
I have tried to do the following:
At the boot prompt: wd(0,a)kernel.GENERIC -c
Entered 'visual'
The machine locks tight after 5 beeps.
Sometimes the machine boots successfully. I have tried
recompiling a 'bare bones' kernel, still locks up on reboot.
Does FreeBSD 2.2.6 support the memory that the 770ED model
utilizes?
I have successfully install the 2.2.6 release on a plain IBM
TP770, but not a 770ED.
Any suggestions or comments?
Thank you for your assistance,
- Michael Jensen
