Every time it gets to the probing for devices part it freezes/hangs. I checked online and the only thing it says is to take out any internal ide zip drives. I don't have any. I've installed freebsd 4.4 on this machine before (that won't work now either) and the only things that I think I've changed is a new video card and a new internal, hardware based, pci modem (it works fine in linux). Here are my specs Abit KT7E motherboard ATI Xpert 2000 Pro video card US Robotics 2977 pci hardware modem parallel port zip drive (old style) with an Epson 600 printer attached Sound Blaster 16 isa sound card logitech optical wheel mouse with a usb to ps/2 converter I've noticed problems before with the sound card and mouse but I had the same ones when i installed 4.4 Thanks for any help Eric Carlsen ec@byu.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
