W. Ballantine" Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I sent the following question to freebsd-cur three months ago and didn't receive any answers, so I thought I would try here since it seems to be hardware related. (Although more than likely driver related.) >Hi > >I'm was running NT and 3.0-cur on a pc and when I tried to boot >FreeBSD the system hung, sometimes during the disk checks during bootup >and sometimes after the disk checks, but before the login message. What seemed >to happen was the the SCSI disk locked up, and the SCSI access light was >hard on. (I tried to reboot a few times.) > >At this point I figured that FB was hosed and I needed to reload. > >I tried to re-install and it hung during the >adding default route to the gateway. When I re-booted NT, the >pci/3-com board wasn't found. > >I tried to re-install both 980426-SNAP and 980520-SNAP and got similar >results both times. In this case, the SCSI 0 disk would either lock up >after booting and during the install probe or during the commit process when >it tried to re-write the partition information. I've replaced the disk and >memory and tried a different controller, each one separately, all with the >same results. > >Is this an existing condition that I'm not aware of, or have I tickled some >other bug???
