The following reply was made to PR kern/63731; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Joe Votour <vulturej@vulturesnest.net> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, joevph@yahoo.com Cc: Subject: Re: kern/63731: PATA to SATA converter on Promise 20375 causes "BTX halted" during install Date: Mon, 08 Mar 2004 22:44:56 -0800 It turns out that booting from floppies and doing the install seems to work. Also, if I switch the order of the drives around, it seems to work from the CD, making me suspect that BTX doesn't like something on the hard drive I'm trying to install FreeBSD to. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out what. Using the boot floppies has it's own set of challenges, however (DHCP doesn't seem to work with my Intel NIC, using the fxp0 driver - but that's another issue). -- Joe ________________________________________________________________ $0 Bannerless Web Hosting, 10 POP and Web Email Accounts, & more Get It Now At www.doteasy.com
