Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I'm trying to install FreeBSD 2.2-ALPHA on my machine. Here is configuration: * MB SOYO Intel Triton HX, Pentium 120MHz, BIOS Award * 64MB RAM EDO, pipeline burst cache 512k * HDD IDE WDC32100 (2.1 GB) LBA mode 4, floppy drive etc... * 3c509 ISA ethernet adapter (ep0) The kernel is, of course, GENERIC 2.2-ALPHA. So, the installation itself goes well (although I used 2.1.6 install floppy), and then, after rebooting with newly installed system, it hangs almost forever (at least for 15 minutes :-) ) saying: Calibrating clock(s) relative to mc146818A clock... and then says it failed. So my question is: do I have a broken motherboard? Are there any options in kernel config that I should change in order to avoid this looong waiting?
