:> Is there any known incompatability with this processor and 2.2.5R? I am :> having problems on this platform, on more than one machine. : : Nope... whats your problem? We just purchased an Asus P5AB motherboard and K6-2/400 for a new FBSD server. We can boot and install from the CD, *but*, we are unable to boot FBSD from either floppy or hard drive. One read and the machine freezes. Why on earth I should be able to read and run from CD nad not from magnetic media is beyond me, but... Even thought the problem is the same on both floppies and hard drives, I've tried altering the hard drive mode just for the hell of it: no effect. LBA/Normal/Large/Auto all give the same response. I've tried turning off UDMA, block reads, etc., all to no effect. This machine passes all diagnostics, and loads/runs RHL5.2, and Win NT4.0/SP4 without any errors or problems of any kind (including the loading of the boot sector from floppies). Yours, J.A. Terranson sysadmin@mfn.org -- If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they should give serious consideration towards setting a better example: Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and elected; the intentional abuse and occassionally destruction of entire populations merely to distract an already apathetic and numb electorate... This type of demogoguery must surely wipe out the fascist United States as surely as it wiped out the fascist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The views expressed here are mine, and NOT those of my employers, associates, or others. Besides, if it *were* the opinion of all of those people, I doubt there would be a problem to bitch about in the first place... -------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
