I got no response on the -stable list so I am forwarding this here. Hope someone can help me get some version installed on this machine. -- Frank ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 3 Sep 2006 08:00:19 -0400 (EDT) From: Frank <frank_s@bellsouth.net> To: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org Subject: 6.X wont boot on Dell XPS 700 I have a new XPS 700 Pentium D 3.6 Dual Core with 2 gigs RAM, 2 250 GB SATA drives, and 2 NVIDIA GeForce 7900GS video cards. So far I have tried: 6.0-RELEASE - will boot to sysinstall but finds no drives. 6.1-RELEASE - hangs after probing md0 and first hard drive. 6.1-STABLE - hangs after probing md0 and first hard drive. 7.0-CURRENT - hangs after probing md0 and both hard drives. I have unplugged the USB keyboard and mouse and used a PS/2 keyboard. Disabling ACPI causes a panic on all versions. Anyone have a clue what it will take to install on this machine? -- Frank _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
