X-BeenThere: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Mobile computing with FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 05 Oct 2010 18:38:56 -0000 Hi , Excuse me for raising this again (i had raised the same or issues related to this iin freebsd-questions a month or so back latest one : http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-questions@freebsd.org/msg237194.html, ). If any of you have a positive experience in success in installing freebsd on 5745 please share your experience on how to do it. I have tried freebsd as well as pc bsd. It boots up fine for the first time and then it does not go beyond bios splash screen. I believe this might be due to INSYDE bios on my laptop. Both the times i had to take the laptop to acer support and they replaced the harddisk :-(. I have since tried various linux OS(debian,pclinuxos,ubuntu,aptosid,mint etc ) without any bootup issues PCBSD boots up fine on my laptop .Only get issues on an install,..Just wanted to give a final try before giving up and restricting bsd to virtualbox. thanks everyone, Mubeesh
