I'm trying to setup FreeBSD on one of my old 486 DX2's, running at 66MHz. When I get to the hardware setup thing, the visual one (B&W), I remove all hardware I don't have and configure what I do. I quit, save and continue to sysinstall. It sits and hangs at "Probing devices, please wait..". I scroll up and I see it detects all the hardware I have, no errors. In the DEBUG terminal, I see the lines: DEBUG: ioctl(3, TIOCCONS, NULL) = 0 (success) DEBUG: Can't open PC-card controller /dev/card0. DEBUG: Can't open USB controller. After about 10 minutes I see: (da0:aha0:0:0:0): CCB 0xc32373f4 - timed out (da0:aha0:0:0:0): CCB 0xc32373f4 - timed out aha0: aha_cmd: Timeout waiting for adapter idle ahainitmboxes: Initialization command failed aha0: No longer in timeout (da0:aha0:0:0:0): Synchronize cache failed, status == 0x4b, scsi status == 0x0 Then it repeats after a few more minutes. The hardware I have: Adaptec AHA1452 SCSI1/2 Controller D-Link DE220CT NIC Goldstar Prime 2C IDE Controller Trident 9000 Video Card 486 DX2 66MHz Chip 2X SCSI CD-ROM 1.2GB Quantum BIGFOOT IDE Harddrive 400MB Quantum Full height SCSI1 Harddrive NEC 765 Diskdrive The only thing it doesnt list when I scroll up are the specific names of the CD-ROM (not listed period), Trident card, NIC, and IDE controller (it finds the IDE drive however). I'm at a loss. Any help would be appreciated. - Miles Peterson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
