First off, I have never pretended to know what I am talking about... I am just a random subscriber. Take what I say with a grain of salt. That being out of the way, a quick little comment. You previously mentioned you had a compaq evo (?). Have you tried making bootable floppies and trying them? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-pre.html#INSTALL-FLOPPIES Also, have you tried experimenting with your bios settings? Perhaps Advanced, Device options? Specifically the ACPI settings... (I kinda doubt this will have any effect, however). Was the error similar to the following? (after loading bootstrap loader) | int=0000000d err=00000000 efl=00030246 eip=00003034 eax=0000205d ebx=00000004 ecx=00002000 edx=0000288c esi=000008d5 edi=0006290c ebp=00001538 esp=00001502 cs=f000 ds=ee00 es=ee00 fs=0000 gs=0000 ss=ee00 cs:eip=0f 20 dd 81 e5 00 f0 0f-20 c2 0f 01 e0 a8 01 75 08 80 e2 fe e8 53 ff eb-21 0f 20 e0 a9 30 00 75 ss:esp=0c 29 06 00 d5 08 00 00-38 15 00 00 22 15 00 00 04 00 00 00 8c 28 00 00-04 00 00 00 5d 28 00 00 BTX halted Hopefully someone who knows more than I (accounts for pretty much everyone on this list...) comprehends what this means. I'm without clue. Hth, and good luck. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail is new and improved - Check it out! http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail
