(Wrote -1 bytes of 1425408 bytes), after pressing the ok button, this appears: Unable to transfer the doc distribution from acd0 acd0 is the cdrom, according to dmesg: acd0: CDROM at at0-master PIO4 i did check the media and it is ok: shiva1 var # md5sum -c CHECKSUM.MD5 6.0-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso: OK 6.0-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso: OK I dont know if this is related to my other post about the hang on boot, you can read it here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=freebsd-questions&m=113147447325120&w=2 I decided to try a ftp install, sysinstall finished without any problem. Now when im rebooting the server, it hangs for about 2 minutes, exactly at this line: [...dmesg output...] Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec acd0: CDROM at ata0-master PIO4 da0 at ciss0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device da0: 135.168MB/s transfers da0: 34727MB (71122560 512 byte sectors: 255H 32S/T 8716C) After the 2 minutes hang, the server booted in the "normal" way, i dont see any error messages.This also happened when i was trying to install with the cd, sysinstall started after the 2 minutes delay but i got the error described above. This make nervous about some conflict or potential problem with the hardisk or cdrom or even the array controllers somewhere, i dont have any clue about what could be my problem, and i have to have running in production this server by the weekend, any hints? --- Miguel
