It contains following components: Logitec System Mouse, 4X CD-ROM (IDE), US Robotics V.34 Sportster Data/Fax Modem (28.8), Creative Labs AWE32 Wavetable Soundcard, #9 Tri Graphics Accelerator PCI (2MB DRAM), 1 GB EIDE hard drive, 6.4 GB EIDE hard drive. When I tried to install FreeBSD 2.2.6 to my computer, I failed. The procedure I used is: a. Boot from CD-ROM. b. In the Kernel Configuration Menu, select Start kernel configuration in Visual Mode. c. Delete those devices my computer does not have ( but I do not know how I can add the information about Soundcard). d. Save changes and continue. After probing floppy, serial ports and hard drive etc. successfully, the system was locked up. Only the message "Probing devices, please wait ... " was displayed on the screen with blue background and never exited from such a state. Could somebody show me what is wrong with my installation and what I should do to solve installation problem. Thank you very much for your help. Carl Liao P.S.: following is the detailed information about my computer: >>> Logging System Resources === Current Configuration of Mother Board === # of functions = 17 slot # = 0 Function: Interrupt Controller not disabled, not locked, no config error I/O port: (20h-21h) (A0h-A1h) Interrupt: 2 Function: DMA Controller not disabled, not locked, no config error I/O port: (0h-Fh) (80h-90h) (94h-9Fh) (C0h-DEh) (40Bh-40Bh) (410h-42Fh) (430h-43Fh) (481h-483h) (487h-487h) (489h-48Ch) (4D6h-4D6h) DMA: 4 Function: System Timer Controller not disabled, not locked, no config error I/O port: (40h-43h) Interrupt: 0 Function: Real Time Clock Controller not disabled, not locked, no config error I/O port: (70h-71h) Interrupt: 8 Function: System Peripheral not disabled, not locked, no config error I/O port: (61h-61h) Function: System Peripheral not disabled, not locked, no config error I/O port: (F0h-FFh) Interrupt: 13 Function: Keyboard Controller not disabled, not locked, no config error I/O port: (60h-60h) (64h-64h) Interrupt: 1 Function: Mouse Controller not disabled, not locked, no config error Interrupt: 12 Function: RAM Controller not disabled, not locked, no config error Memory: (E8000h-FFFFFh) (0h-9FFFFh) (100000h-1FFFFFFh) (FFFC0000h-FFFFFFFFh) Function: PCI Bridge not disabled, not locked, no config error I/O port: (CF8h-CFFh) Function: Floppy Controller not disabled, not locked, no config error I/O port: (3F0h-3F5h) (3F7h-3F7h) DMA: 2 Interrupt: 6 Function: Parallel Port not disabled, not locked, no config error I/O port: (378h-37Bh) Interrupt: 7(sh) Function: Serial Port not disabled, not locked, no config error I/O port: (3F8h-3FFh) Interrupt: 4(sh) Function: Serial Port not disabled, not locked, no config error I/O port: (3E8h-3EFh) Interrupt: 4(sh) Function: IDE Controller not disabled, not locked, no config error I/O port: (1F0h-1F7h) (3F6h-3F6h) (FFA0h-FFA7h) Interrupt: 14 Function: IDE Controller not disabled, not locked, no config error I/O port: (170h-177h) (376h-376h) (FFA8h-FFAFh) Interrupt: 15 Function: System Peripheral not disabled, not locked, no config error I/O port: (78h-79h) === Current Configuration of unknown ISA card (ID: DEL0183) === # of functions = 3 slot # = 1 Function #1 not disabled, not locked, no config error I/O port: (220h-233h) (300h-301h) (388h-38Bh) DMA: 1 5 Interrupt: 5 Function #2 not disabled, not locked, no config error I/O port: (200h-207h) Function #3 not disabled, not locked, no config error === Current Configuration of ISA card USR 14,400 BPS DATA/FAX PC Internal Modem === # of functions = 1 slot # = 2 Function #1 not disabled, not locked, no config error I/O port: (2F8h-2FFh) Interrupt: 3 === Current Configuration of unknown ISA card (ID: A0) === # of functions = 0 slot # = 16 === Current Configuration of unknown ISA card (ID: PNPFFFF) === # of functions = 1 slot # = 15 Function #1 not disabled, not locked, no config error DMA: 3 7 Interrupt: 10 === Current Configuration of PCI card === # of functions = 1 slot # = 17 Function: VGA Controller not disabled, not locked, no config error I/O port: (3B4h-3B5h) (3BAh-3BAh) (3C0h-3CAh) (3CCh-3CCh) (3CEh-3CFh) (3D4h-3D5h) (3DAh-3DAh) Interrupt: 11(sh) Memory: (FF000000h-FF7FFFFFh) (C0000h-C7FFFh) (A0000h-AFFFFh) (B0000h-BFFFFh) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
