Hi, I'm trying to install FreeBSD for the first time, but I've run into a problem. I have tried 4.9, 5.2, and 5.2.1. There are a couple of symptoms for what I think are the same problem. 1. On booting from the CD, during the machine hangs after the following message (I'm guessing it is probing the hardware): agp0: <Intel 82443BX (440 BX) host to PCI bridge> mem 0-0xffffffff at device 0.0 on pci0 The same thing happens regardless of which boot option I choose (regular, no ACPI, safe, etc). So I couldn't install from CD. After some experimentation, I ended up booting from the floppy images (apparently the floppy images don't do the same stuff to probe the hardware). I was able to install just fine this way. But when I booted the machine after the install completed, I get the same message. Can anyone help me? I would really like to use FreeBSD on this machine. The hardware is: HP NetServer e60 dual P3-500 256mb ram SCSI and IDE drives I have successfully used Linux (2.2 and 2.4 kernels, RedHat), Solaris, and Windows 2000 on this hardware. The AGP implementation may be buggy on the hardware, but these other OSes work ok. Any ideas?
