Hi, I'm facing a rather severe problem installing 5.4 (or 5.4-Beta): Hardware: Compaq/HP Evo d310 latest available BIOS 3.18 HD: 40GB Problem: When booting from a FreeBSD-Installation CD (either disc1, bootonly - doesn't really matter) the system immediately crashes when it comes to the FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader. In effect I get a register dump followed by "BTX halted". I've already changed/set/reset every possible setting in the BIOS, changed the harddisk, used another memory - the problem remains the same. Interestingly this system runs under Windows without any problems. BTW, I've tried with 4.11, 5.3 and 5.4-Beta1 - always the same story :-( I really can't believe that Windows should be the one and only system that runs on this Hardware?! I've taken screenshots (in the purest sense of the word - pictures taken with a digicam from the crash) - you can find them under: http://www.jenisch.at/Evo-d310-install-crash/5.3-bootcrash.jpg and http://www.jenisch.at/Evo-d310-install-crash/5.4-bootcrash.jpg So here are my questions: o) Has anybody else experienced these problems on a Evo d310 o) What can be done against it? Thanks much in advance for your help! -ewald
