Hi there, I'm writing out of exasperation more than anything else. I've recently retired my Toshiba Satellite for a Dell Inspiron 2500 and am attempting to install FreeBSD 4.5. Without success. I attempt to run install, am able to configure devices for probing, however after probing various USB devices, install locks up. The devices probed prior to locking up are as follows: ata0 ata1 uhci0 usb0 uhub0 pci0 uhci1 usb1 uhub1 pci0 < ...locks up here... > I have disable probing all devices except ata0, ata1, npx0, psm0, sc0 and keyboard, have removed pc card devices, have disable parallel, serial and speedstep in BIOS. All to no avail. I have also attempted to install from 4.3-RELEASE and 4.0-RELEASE all with the same results. I can however run install from a 2.2.2-RELEASE CD sucessfully. Has anyone experienced a similar problem? How can I determine what device is causing the problem? Is there any way of disabling probing for this device? Any assistance appreciated.
