Hi,
I have already installed FreeBSD 5.4 in lots of hardware, but now I
came to one that is troublig me.
It an ASUS motherboard, model P4VP-MX, with VIA8235 Chipset.
Neither the FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE CD, nor a preinstalled hard disk can
identify the ATA disks in this computer. During the hard disk probe the
kernel sends some messages, "ata0-master: failure - ATA_IDENTIFY timed
out", "ata0-master: failure - ATA_IDENTIFY timed out", and them no hard
disk is identified, so I cannot install the system. If I boot from a
pre-installed hard disk, its even worse, after these message, I get a
"kernel trap 12 with interrupts disabled", but I must confess that this
hard disk does not have a GENERIC kernel anymore.
The CPU is a P4 2.0GHz, with 512M DDR, if this matters. I cannot
provide a memory dump, because there is no device to dump at.
Also, note that Fedora 3 and Windows XP Home run on this hardware
without any trouble.
Thanks for any help,
Jonny
