Hi FreeBSD User!
Some days ago I bought "The Complete FreeBSD 3.3". After reading the
basics I tried to install FreeBSD on my old PC (486 DX4/25, 32MB Ram,
Quantum Sirocco 2550A Harddisk, ATAPI CD-ROM, Diamond Viper 550
Graphic Card, Soundblaster 16). Unfortunatly, I'm not able to pass
the boot process.
After loading the kernel and the MFS root disk I'm able to boot the
kernel. But then, the different problems start to occur (I've got
different errors on different attempts).
One common error is a "Fatal trap 12: page fault". Output:
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault
virtual address = 0x83f8bea0
fault code = supervisor read, page not present
instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc021d29f
stack pointer = 0x10:0xc062bc58
frame pointer = 0x10:0xc062bc5c
code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
= DPL 0, pres1, def32 1, gran 1
processor flags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL=0
Another common error after displaying the OS label
FreeBSD 3.3-Release #4: Wed Sep 29 08:54:18 GMT 1999
the systems stucks after displaying some k's and the automatically
reboots after 15 seconds.
Some times I'm able to pass UserConfig (after removing not installed
components) my disks are checked and after recognizing the CD-ROM the
system hangs:
...
wdc0 at 0x1f0 - 0x1f7 irq 14 on isa
wdc0: CMD640B workaround enabled
wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <QUANTUM SIROCCO2550A>
wd0: 2445MB (5008752 sectors), 4696 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
wdc0: unit 1 (atapi): <V004H0DT/4V001-3.>, removable, iordy
atapi 0.1: unknown phase
I tried to start the system on my laptop as well and everything seems
to be OK (in fact, I reach the sysinstall program).
Can anybody help me out of my problems? I've read the handbook from
"The Complete FreeBSD", but I cannot find any informations related to
my problem. Furthermore, I could not find any informations in the
comp.unix.bsd.freebsd*
news groups.
Thanks in advance!
Ciao
Harald
