Hi all!
I have been trying to install FreeBSD 4.2/4.3 on my PC for over a month. =
No
luck so far. This is  a long story. So, please bear with me.
Let's start with my hardware configuration :
- Compaq Deskpro EN Series (Intel 600 MHz, 256 MB RAM)
- Intel Pro/100+ Alert on LAN* Management Adapter - IRQ 11 - (I/O Port)
0x2000 - 0x203F
- ATI 3D Rage Pro AGP 2X  -  IRQ 11 - (I/O Port) 0x1000 - 0x1FFF, 0x03B0 =
-
0x03BB, 0x03C0 - 0x03DF
- Intel 82443BX Chipset and Pentium II Procesor to AGP Controller - (I/O
Port) 0x1000 - 0x1FFF, 0x03B0 - 0x03BB, 0x03C0 - 0x03DF
- Intel 82371AB/EB (ISA, IDE Controller, USB-UHCI) - IRQ 11 - (I/O Port)
0x2060 - 0x206F for IDE - (I/O Port) 0x2040 - 0x205F for USB
- Keyboard - IRQ 1 - (I/O Port) 0x0060 - 0x0060, 0x0064 - 0x0064
- PS/2 Mouse - IRQ 12
- Two Hard Disks (Disk1 -Primary Master- Western Digital-20GB and
                              Disk2 -Primary Slave - Maxtor - 30GB)
    both attached to my primary IDE Channel - IRQ 14 - (I/O Port) 0x01F0 =
-
0x01F7, 0x03F6 - 0x03F6
- Memorex 48 X CD-ROM (ATAPI) - Secondary Slave - Secodary IDE Channel - =
IRQ
15 - (I/O Port) 0x0170 - 0x0177,  0x0376 - 0x0376
- Standard Floppy Controller - IRQ 6 - (I/O Port) 0x3F0 - 0x3F5, 0x3F7 -
0x3F7
- ESS 1868 Audio Device - IRQ 5 - (I/O Port) 0x0220 - 0x022F,  0x0388 -
0x038B, 0x0330 - 0x0331
- Serial Port 1 - IRQ 4 - (I/O Port) 0x03F8 - 0x03FF
- Serial Port 2 - IRQ 3 - (I/O Port) 0x02F8 - 0x02FF
- 1 Parallel Port - IRQ 7 - (I/O Port) 0x0378 - 0x037F, 0x0778 - 0x077D
- CMOS - IRQ 8 - (I/O Port) 0x0070 - 0x0071
- Numeric Data Processor - IRQ 13 - (I/O Port) 0x00F0 - 0x00FF
- U.S. Robotics Fax PCI Win Modem - IRQ 11 - 0x2070 - 0x2077

As far as I can see, I don't think I have any unsupported hardware =
except
for my WinModem, which I don't use any way. I have DSL connection.

Now, Software Inventory on my PC:
- DISK 1 has WINDOWS 98, WINDOWS 2000 and RedHat Linux 7.1 and this disk =
is
completely full
- DISK 2 is brand new and has nothing on it. I want to install FreeBSD =
here,
on this disk.

Now, my installation process (If this is not legible on your screen, =
please
take a look into the TEXT ATTACHMENT, FreeBSD_saga.txt):

1)Start the Install Process from my CD-ROM.
2)Start kernel configuration in full screen Visual mode.
3)I get 7 Hardware Conflicts. This is what I see after expanding all =

4)I tried several possible combintions to resolve the conflicts, =
starting
from removing only the hardware that is causing conflicts and does not =
exist
on my PC to just bare bones configuration. One such example is shown =

5) I hit Q and then the probe starts. I see messages scrolling by for =
about
15 seconds and then I
see I big blue screen (of death!) and it says:

"Probing Devices.... (This may take a while)"

and the process comes to a grinding halt. I waited several times for =
more
than 30 minutes
and then I had to do a hard boot.

I have no fancy devices attached to my PC except for those that I =
already
mentioned above.

No matter what combinations I tried, I always got the blue screen.

Unfortunately, my CD-ROM is not attached to the Secondary Master but =
rather
to Secondary Slave. There is no device at Secondary Master. So, I =
removed
the CD-ROM from PC and I made two install  floppy diskettes and tried =
the
install process and I get same exact blue screen!

Does some one know what's wrong with my computer? Please let me know if =
you
need any extra information.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

1)Start the Install Process from my CD-ROM.
2)Start kernel configuration in full screen Visual mode.
3)I get 7 Hardware Conflicts. This is what I see after expanding all =

5) I hit Q and then the probe starts. I see messages scrolling by and =
then I=20
see I big blue screen (of death!) and it says:

"Probing Devices.... (This may take a while)"

and the process comes to a grinding halt. I waited several times for =
more than 30 minutes
and then I had to do a hard boot.=20

I actually tried several possible ways to resolve the hardware conflicts =
with no luck.
I always got the blue screen.
