For me, the install would freeze at random points in unpacking the distributions (once catman, once some soures - ssys if I remember correctly). I suspected CD or ATA problems - checked the downloaded image against the MD5 and SHA256 signatures, was OK. Then re-read the physical CD into MD5, on two different CD-ROM units, and it seemed OK. Another lockup occured with sysinstall, at partitioning my FreeBSD slice, while simply trying to type backspace to delete the pre-set size and type something of my own as the partition size. Note that wasn't the first time I typed backspace, but after already deleting a few chars. All of the previous lockups were HARD - in textmode, on the primary console, no messages on screen, power button wouldn't work, NumLock wouldn't work. The solution (as suggested in the Undernet #FreeBSD channel) was to boot with ACPI disabled. The system works now with no problems (ACPI still disabled). 5.4 still works perfectly (including nvidia video card / ethernet from ports) with ACPI enabled. Hardware info: Motherboard Asus A7N8X, CPU: AMD Sempron 2800+, 1 GB RAM (dual channel). System runs fine under FreeBSD 5.4-stable (a of 2 weeks ago), and under Windows XP. At the time, the addon cards were an ed0 and a rl0 network cards (both PCI), and a SB Live! soundcard. The integrated soundcard was disabled in the BIOS, the integrated network card (nve0) was enabled. Video card: NVidia GeForce FX 5700LE. PS: I have booted the 6.0 install CD with verbose logging, but still nothing was printed on screen at the time of lockup. Hope this helps Alex [PS: If required, I can add dmesg from both 5.4-STABLE and 6.0-RELEASE, but I'm not sure I still have the original kernel on disk for 6.0] ------------+------------------------------------------------------- Alex Popa, | "Computer science is no more about computers than razor@ldc.ro| astronomy is about telescopes" -- E.
