Hi FreeBSDers,
When installing 4.3 on my new system it always hangs during the boot
process. It always stops after probing my hard drive, which is an IBM 75GXP
75gb(UDMA 100), and I can never get to the first install screen. My
motherboard is the Asus A7M266 rev.1.4 bios1003 with an AMD 761 northbridge
and a VIA VT82C686B(UDMA 100) southbridge, 1.33ghz thunderbird with 256
pc2100
crucial ddr. I installed windows 2000 (for games) first and it seems to be
running fine, so its not the system. I pulled all of the cards out minus the
video card so we can rule out an IRQ conflict. Installed NetBSD and OpenBSD
just to see if they'd hang but they did in fact install without problems.
I'm sure boot -v info would help solve the problem but it hangs and I'm
unable to 'pageup' and write it down. I'm sure more info would help track
down the problem, like boot -v output, but I'm unaware of how to save its
output. If someone could show me how I can email it back to this mailing
list. If anyone can help please email me at johnandsamson@home.com.
Thanks for your time.
