The system is using DDR333 ram, the onboard IDE with UltraDMA disabled, and a ATI 8500 AIW for video. Due to needing firewire support I previously had linux installed on the system, and it was able to run for extended periods of time, so I don't believe there is any hardware interoperability issues. >Description: I downloaded the ISOs and checked the MD5s before and after writing the data to the CDs. When I try to install anything other than minimal the install fails (usually while trying to pkg_add perl.) If I do the minimal install passwd fails to run when trying to set the root password, but the install finishes. When I boot into the system after that I'm forced into single user mode, and when I try to run /bin/sh it cannot execute it. >How-To-Repeat: Install FreeBSD 5.0 i386 on a SS51 based system. >Fix: None that I know of. Could it be possible that the kernel is somehow misidentifying the processor, activating some processor specific extensions, and loading the executables into memory in a way that the chip doesn't understand? >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
