Message-Id: <37512A121B8.689BFUSE@210.32.151.66> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Becky! ver 1.24 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, all I just bought a new machine with GIGA BXIIe motherboard, 256M ram, and IBM 10.1G HD. I failed in installing FreeBSD 3.2 stable when the boot disk load the system and the blue screen appears, saying:"Probing device, please wait....." I wait for hours and no any more response. Some previous release(2.2.6, 3.0, 3.1-RELEASE) I have tried failed in the same way. I once thought the IBM 10.1G HD cause this failure, but another Quatumn Fireball 1.2G HD also failed. Both CD-boot and Floppy boot failed. I had tried Linux Redhat 6.0, via network install, everything is ok. I also tried NetBSD-1.4, and successed too. So, should I change my motherboard to make FreeBSD work? or, any comment? Thanks for your help. Geng Chen Ge.
