The 4.0-RELEASE CD however works just fine. I'm trying to install FreeBSD on a newly put together PC (although I have had 4.0 running on the box just fine, as well as debian linux). The machine boots up off CD, and runs up the installer program. At this point the machine freezes, and I can't move the cursor or anything. As I said, the 4.0 installer doesn't suffer from this problem. It's a 566mhz celeron on a Gigabyte 2000+ motherboard, with soldered on promise ata-66 controller. I have two IBM 18Gb 7200 rpm disks connected as primaries on the two ata-66 busses. A CD-Rom drive is primary on a standard ata bus. There are two Intel Pro100+ ethernet cards in the machine, and an Adaptec 2930 scsi card doing nothing. Any help greatly appreciated. I'm happy to run some more tests if it'll help nail a bug. please cc: replies to jesse at va.com.au Cheers Jesse -- -- Jesse Reynolds - Virtual Artists Pty Ltd - http://www.va.com.au Email: jesse (at) va.com.au - http://virtual.artists To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
