Okay here's the situation,

I'm attempting to install FreeBSD 4.0 on an Packard Bell Intel Pentium 133. This system is relatively o"old". about 5 years. I've noticed that when it's probing for hardware during the boot I noticed this line:

"atapci0: <CMD 640 controller !Warning! Buggy chip data loss possible> irq 14 at device 13.0 on pci0"

but, like I mention.  during the initial installation process, after I give the finally okay to install. it hangs while installing

"modules/ibcs2.coff.k"

I've repeatedly re attempted to re install it hangs in while installing the "modules/......"

here's my hard drive config in my BIOS perhaps this helps

Hard Drive IDE controller
Type    1282MB
Cly        2485
Hd        16   
Sec       63

Write comp:   None
Multi Sector Transfer - 16 Sectors
LBA Mode Control       Disabled            Note:  Tried while enabled and still hangs
32 Bit    I/O                    Enabled
Transfer Mode              Fast PIO 3

Hope this helps.  I've never dealt with a UNIX operating system. So, I'm very much a newbie. If you have any further questions please let me know.

Please forward all e mail to my personal account address at JAMIEG@PRODIGY.NET 

Thank you much. :-)
