>Number: 2775 >Category: conf >Synopsis: Syscons in 2.2 wont work with Diamond Speedstar pro se >Confidential: no >Severity: critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Wed Feb 19 13:30:04 PST 1997 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Chris Coleman >Organization: Big Bend Community College >Release: 2.2-GAMMA and 3.0-Current >Environment: >Description: I can't install FreeBSD 2.2-Gamma or 3.0-Current on my machine. It is a pentium 100, 64 Meg of ram, 6G disk space, Adaptech 2940 controller SCSI 2 Fast/Wide Barracuda drives. (4G,2G) , Diamond Stealth Speedstar Pro SE Video Card with 1 Meg of Ram. At boot-up it just starts flashing colors where the letters should be. I think this is a syscons problem. Then I changed out the Video Card to a Trident card. (both are pci) It didnt have the same problem. The flashing stuff went away. But I still couldn't install 2.2-GAMMA. It got all the way through the probe stuff, then it just didn;t do any thing. The last line was APM powermanagment disabled, not probed. It just sat there. >How-To-Repeat: It happened once before when I tried to go to 2.2-Current from 2.1.5 I ended up going to 2.1.6 instead. I never could get to 2.2 anything. >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
