I recently tried to install FreeBSD 5.0 RELEASE #0 on the following notebook: Fujitsu Siemens - Amilo D 8820 The (limited) technical details for which can be found here: http://www.buyalifebook.co.uk/datasheet.asp?lifebook_id=164 The installation CD was booting fine until the following happened: Timecounters tick every 10.000 msec System power profile changed to 'economy' System power profile changed to 'perfomance' ad0: READ command timeout tag=0 dev=0 -resetting ata0: resetting devices Whereupon the boot process hung. I tried using the FreeBSD 4.7 CD, in case it was a problem with 5.0 but it did not work. I assume this has something to do with some feature my laptop has that has not been implemented yet? I read somewher that ata had something to do with CD devices and that certain fast CD devices cause boot to hang, but this CDRW/DVD combo drive is not ultra fast 8x/16x/24x/8x. I thought it was worth reporting this so that this laptop can be added to the list of known non-working laptops or whatever. I would be interested in knowing what the problem is, and if there is a workaround, or if there is likely to be a workaround or fix in the near future?
