Hi, I'm having a hard time trying to install FreeBSD on a IBM PC330 server (dual MP motherboard with one Pentium Pro 200Mhz, 96Mb RAM, AIC-7880P SCSI chipset directly connected to the SCSI array with 3 x IBM 4Gb disks and an IBM SCSI CDROM, no ServeRAID controller). Whenever I boot (either from floppy or from CDROM) the kernel hangs on "Waiting 15seconds for disks to settle" (no CapsLock/NumLock response). Booting verbose yelds no significant messages (it gets to the "noperif:ahc0:0:-1:-1" message and hangs). I have been able to succefully install RedHat and Debian Linux on the machine; NetBSD boots too (though I haven't yet tried to install). It's clear something is wrong with the FreeBSD drivers. Searching the mailling lists I saw other people accuse the very same problem. Is there anything it can be done ? Any way I can help debug this issue ? Thank you, Ady (@warpnet.ro) _______________________________________________________________________ | Programming in BASIC causes brain damage. | | (Edsger Wybe Dijkstra) | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
