You may want to try running the diags (they can be gotten from netserver.hp.com) and ensure that all the hardware is functioning. You may also want to check the hardware event log and look for things like memory errors (the event log is accessable from the Navigator CD). I'm new to BSD myself but I see no reason why it shouldn't work, do you actually have any EISA cards installed? Cheers Gene -----Original Message----- From: Shawn Barnhart [mailto:swb@grasslake.net] Sent: Monday, May 01, 2000 11:02 AM To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Netserver LX Pro Install Hang I'm trying to install 4.0 on an HP Netserver LX Pro and after I get through eliminating the conflicts and actually start booting the kernel, my screen goes blank and the machine's LCD panel goes blank, like it would if someone hit the reset button. The machine doesn't actually reboot (at least not after the minute or two I let it sit), and I have to hit the reset button to reboot it. This is an older HP server with EISA and PCI buses and on-board AIC78xx controllers. It was functioning as of 2 weeks ago running Novell Netware, and will still boot into Netware (I haven't overwritten the disks). Any guesses to what's wrong? I'd like to retry with a custom kernel image on floppy, are there any docs for building a custom install kernel on floppy for installation?
