The following reply was made to PR i386/10690; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Michael A. Meiszl" <mam@werries.de> To: "'freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org'" <freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org>, "'llzarte@mat.unb.br'" <llzarte@mat.unb.br> Cc: Subject: Re: i386/10690: Installation freezes after device selection, whil e "probing" Date: Wed, 31 Mar 1999 10:27:31 +0200 This error just occured to me too. Yesterday I've bought an new machine with an Intel RX-440 Motherboard (onboard a 16Mb Riva-TNT AGP adapter and a Soundblaster 64V PCI card) with a P-II/400. It hang at the "probing" screen too. This confused me a bit, because I'm already running a machine with this motherboard (but a slightly older revision with an 8Mb Riva 128 adapter) with no problems. I've tried the suggested "eisa 12" trick, and disabling all non-used drivers. I've also dismounted the network adapter (3C905B), nothing helped. Then (more luck than serious debugging approach) I've decided to try Disk 2 the life file system (btw: this is 3.1-release) and hit the eject button on the cd-drive. Guess what happens? The cd was not spit out, but the frozen "probing" screen went away and the installation menue appeared! This is reproducable, once hung, wait a few seconds then hit the button. Installation continues! Seems that the atapi driver locks up. This drive is a no-name 40x called LTN382/RM03 (whatever that means). I can install afterwards, but later on I run into troubles with the disk drive (12,9Gb WD IDE). But this is another problem...
