Never able to get a uname -a. >Description: Installation fails with the following characteristics: 4.2-rc2 ISO mini from ftp2.us.freebsd.org auto defaults, partitioning 14gb of unallocated space, mounted DOS partition as /win FTP install, DHCP-assigned address (ipv4) on rl0 (realtek ethernet driver) gateway 192.168.0.1 (win2k box i have acting as router) install over FTP from ftp2.us.freebsd.org X-Developer, defaults ports: yes --- After everything goes in, I try to run xf86config via the sysinstall menus. X starts fine, I change nothing, (it already detects I need to use the nv server, comp stats: Philips 107S Monitor (used default monitor info), Geforce 3 (used nv, default), used default keyboard, used default mouse (i have a logitech mx300). I click on quit and say yes to saving the configuration. I am returned to a sysinstall screen that is garbled, and I can barely read that it says there was an error in my xf86config, and wants to know if i want to try again. I hit yes, same thing occurs. The 2nd terminal (alt-f2) shows that it caught a SIGILL. If, while in X, I use ctrl-alt-backspace, I can quit X and be returned to a clear sysinstall screen. >How-To-Repeat: Execute usual installation procedures, choosing X-Developer. Choose to run xf86config from the menu when given the option to configure X. >Fix: Workaround: exit xf86config with ctrl+alt+backspace, or do not enter xf86config during initial installation with /stand/sysinstall >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
