Controllers are on the motherboard (Asus P5A-B). : What chipset? ALi AGPset. 100mhz front end bus, Western Digital 1.6gb IDE drive, Standard 3.5" Mitsumi floppy, 32mb of 100mhz SDRAM, Generic 4 mb PCI video card, SMC800x Network Card: all known to be good. As I said, this system, unchanged, boots and runs NT4/SP4, RHL 5.2, etc... : Does it freeze, or does it hang? It hangs. CTL-ALT-DEL still reboots, numlock still functions, etc. It appears to read the first boot sector before dying. :Does it still occur if you go back to a 66 MHz bus speed? Unknown right now: I will try it later this weekend. :I suppose it's possible that there is an incompatibility with 2.2.5R, :just that we haven't seen it, and it's unlikely to be directly related :to the processor. But it would still make sense to install :FreeBSD-3.1, since you're not going to get much help following a real :bug in 2.2.5. I wasn't aware that 3.1 was out: last I checked, 3.0 was available, but, to paraphrase the FBSD warning: "3.0 [was] not ready for prime time" ;-) Is there continuing support for 2.2.8R? We are *very* pleased with the 2.2.x series, and are not exactly thrilled at changing over to the 3.x line... (Why fix something thats not only not [usually] broken, but usually picture perfect???) 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
