On this system, IDE is only used for ATAPI CD Drive. Unfortunatly, there is no way to get sysinstall up and running. When I try to boot with either FreeBSD disc 1 CD, disc 2 CD or generated boot floppies, boot process hangsup right after having probed serial and parallel interfaces, whitch seems to indicate a failure of the ata devices probe. Please, notice also: I had the same behaviour after having completly disabled IDE at bios level. I had the same behaviour after trying with FreeBSD 4.5 boot CD. Hmm, finaly I had no problem at all trying to reinstall linux (!) Furthermore, i tryied to stop boot process at boot loader prompt, running lsdev in order to see what wendt wrong... the system crashed gracefully :( I have absolute no idea about interpreting the output below, after my signature. Would someone be nice enough in giving me some tips for resolving this issue ? Many thanks in advance Kindest regards Bertrand ---------------------------------------------------------- Here is the output of lsdev: int=0000 0000 err=0000 0000 efl=0001 0246 eip=0000 f99d eax=0000 0000 ebx=0009 4d28 ecx=0000 a000 edx=0000 0000 esi=0009 4ad4 edi=0009 4d10 ebp=0009 4aac exp=0009 4a74 cs=002b ds=0033 es=0033 fs=0033 gs=0033 ss=0033 cs:eip=f7 75 fc 89 45 f8 89 d0 - 8b 4d 08 31 d2 f7 71 10 ss:esp=28 4d 09 00 4c 83 03 00 - 10 4d 09 00 84 40 09 00 BTX halted ----------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
