Since you have tried FBSD 4.3, 4.4, 4.7, & 5.0 I would say that the = problem is not an FBSD problem but a problem with the hard ware of the = box you are installing FBSD onto. From your description of what you = have done to fix the problem, I can see that you started to use the = "process of elimination method" to debug the problem. You need to = continue using this method.=20 First of all I have never heard of ever needing dummy cards to terminate = unused memory slots. Remove them. Also strip down your PC to bare bones. Remove SCSI control card from PC = PCI bus and unplug power supplies from all SCSI devices. Only have IDE = hard drive and IDE CDROM drive and install FBSD to see if it works. If = that works then you know you have problem with SCSI control card. If = SCSI control is old style ISA card you may have bio's irq assignment = problem.=20 =20 -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG = [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of joseph grundy Sent: Friday, February 14, 2003 12:56 AM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: problem with install 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. When I put in the bootable cd and restart the computer, I get to the = boot section where it says Hit enter or wait 9 seconds to boot 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. 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 Intel 10/100 pro NIC adaptec 2940 scsi card dvd player ( used for install ) cdrw scsi cd rom scsi secondary 60 gig HD 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.
