To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Fri, 3 Dec 1999 11:38:27 -0800 (PST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.5 PL2] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I could really use some suggestions here, I'm not wild about returning this motherboard for another -- especially if I'm not sure that doing so will fix my problem! I have one of the new Intel CC820 motherboards, with a single PCI card (right now) being a 2930U2. (I figured there was no reason for a 2940U2W?) The card is plugged into a single IBM UltraStar 9GB drive, with a 68 pin connector. Using the floppies from the most recent 3.3-Stable, it can boot up and probe the IBM drive, but hangs immediately after that. I cannot explain why -- the system freezes up solid. I've disabled the MB's internal Ultra/66 IDE controller. I've got PnP support turned off. I'm not sure what else I can try, and am feeling pretty desperate. Any advice? __________________________________________________________________________ Marco E.
