Recently I upgraded my motherboard and CPU. They are VA-503+ and AMD K6-2 3D 500. 256M PC100 SDROM. Two WD HDD. One is brand new 45gig and the other is old 8.4gig, also WD. Both HDD are in the same primary IDE channel. I was trying to install 4.0 which is running perfectly in my another 486 machine. Here are the info which could be related to my problem. 1) I have to disable UDMA for the Primary IDE master drive (45gig), ortherwise the whole machine could not work properly. I believe there are some ide controller issues here. 2) Fresh install of 4.0 successful. But after reboot, with gereric kernel, the sysinstall see both wd and ad devices like below wd0 wd1 ad0 ad1 3) dmesg show two drives there running UDMA 33. Looks perfectly normal. The kernel did detect the both drivers!!! It sees my CPU correctly, running at 501.14Mhz. 4) next day when I turn on the machine, sysinstall could not see the ide drives at all!??? dmesg still shew the both drives were detected at booting. 5) I tried to make world to see if that helps, but could complete the make buildworld. It stops at different places (I tried it several ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ times), most of the error messages were something like ==== internal compiler errors: last line is not the last of the file etc.. ... ==== I strongly suspect there were hardware issues here, but no clue where to check. Any suggestion?? -- Chen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
