Sender: owner-freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org >Number: 10690 >Category: i386 >Synopsis: Installation freezes after device selection, while "probing". >Confidential: no >Severity: critical >Priority: high >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sat Mar 20 02:50:00 PST 1999 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Leonardo Lazarte >Release: 3.1 STABLE >Organization: Universidade de Brasilia >Environment: Not applicble, the problem arises before completing installation >Description: After booting kern.flp and mfsroot.flp, selecting and configuring devices, the system freezes while on the "blue screen", with the message "probing ... this can take a while". It takes forever. Several people have reported the same problem in the lists. In my case, if I deselect the network card (which was working under 3.0), the booting goes on. Some people reported a workaround by changing address of the card, or configuring "eisa 12" in CLI mode. That didn't work in my case. >How-To-Repeat: The problem happens ALWAYS in my Aptiva 166 with NE2000 compatible card. On release 3.0 I could go out of the "probing" state by typing CONTROL-C and continuing with installation. This did not work with 2.2.8 neither with 3.1. >Fix: Sorry, no idea. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
