>I reported a similar problem about a week ago, but did not get any >suggestions. I suspect it is related to older CD-ROM drives; I was using a >Toshiba IDE 4x drive. It works properly with FreeBSD 2.2.1, Linux >(Slackware, kernel 2.0.34) and Win95. I was using a double-speed IDE cdrom drive and now I 've installed a 40x drive but I still have the same problem. >Can you quote the exact error message? On mine, it seems to be almost, or >exactly, at the start of trying to read from the CD. I am not keen to >re-try at the moment, as I have Linux successfully installed on that machine >:-( I don't get any error messages at all (not on the installation consoles, not on vt4). I 've tried to install slackware 7.1 but when the system boots from installation floppies I get a lot of messages about 'unexpected interrups" or so and other weird error messages about my floppy drive. So may'be there is something wrong with my io hardware.. -----Original Message----- From: Sven Vermeulen [mailto:pe2tcp@zonnet.nl] Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2000 12:35 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: installation problem I'm trying to install the freebsd 4.0-release on a 486 but het installation stops after copying a couple off chunks. I'm installing from cdrom with the 4.0-release burned on it (I also tried the original walnut creek 3.1-realase cdrom). I'don't know what causes the installation stop.
