Hi, We've upgraded a number of our machines to FreeBSD 2.2.(5|6) from BSDI BSD/OS 3.1. Each and every time we do this (reusing the old BSDI hard disk) sysinstall hangs shortly after it runs, at the "probing devices" screen. This is on pretty standard IDE-only hardware. The only solution seems to be to completely wipe out the old system with something like DOS fdisk which works, but is a pain. Has anyone else seen this or is it just us? Anyone know if there's a way to fix it? Cheers, Matt. -- M a t t S a u n d e r s Systems Engineer Easynet Group plc http://www.easynet.net/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
