I am having problems trying to install FreeBSD.
I have installed in before on different machines, but now this is the =
only one I have. I would like to have FreeBSD as my main OS on the =
machine.
=20
When I put in the bootable cd and restart the computer, I get to the =
boot section where it says=20
Hit enter or wait 9 seconds to boot
=20
I hit enter and get the follow
/boot/kernel/acpi.ko test=3D0x3985c data=3D0x1978+0xb2k =
sysms=3D[0x4+0x6010+0x4+0x7994 ]
then the line below it is spinning and stops and freezes.
=20
I have tried 4.2, 4.4, 4.7. and 5.0 releases all lock in the same place. =
I have windows 2000 server on first 40 gigs of a 60 gig HD.
Inside the machine are
Intel 850 MV motherboard
2 256 sticks of rambus and 2 dummy cards to terminate unused memory =
slots
geforce 3
Audigy Plat=20
Intel 10/100 pro NIC
adaptec 2940 scsi card
dvd player ( used for install )
cdrw scsi
cd rom scsi
secondary 60 gig HD
=20
Now I have tried with 3com nic instead, I have taken all cards out and =
only had graphics, primary HD and cd rom.
I also updated the BIOS of the Motherboard and I still get the same =
freeze in the same spot.
I don't know what might be the problem I have looked all over and tried =
many things, I have been working on this install for 2 days now.=20
=20
Any idea's or help, I would be grateful
