Show exact console output, give a detailed >hardware description, etc. I dont have the exact errors, but I posted them like 2 weeks ago, Ill try going through my out box and see if I still have them, and I noticed other people also have the same problem...... Well, the systems were Micronics M55Hi Rev A & B with P200 & 166 both with 64MRam. Symbios 875 UW scsi card with the 53c875j chip on it. Various hard drives ranging from 1G to 4G, Intel Pro100b nics, parallel, serial and usb busses disabled and an ISA and PCI video cards. I was trying to install 4.0 & 4.1RC off the cdrom and floppies, and the hardware gets probed correctly, then when it get to the section where the scsi devices has 15 secs to settle, an error keeps scrolling, locked in a loop. Here is my message from my previous post==> >Hey all, I purchased a symbios 8751sp scsi card to go with a Micronics >M55Hi rev B motherboard with a P200 & 64M and 2M s3 video.

From what I can decipher, >SCSI BUS RESET DETECTED >PCI STATUS : 0X8100 >(0/5) @ (SCRIPT 48:F33100004) >SYM0 REGDUMP : CA 00 00 05 47 00 00 0E 00 08 00 00 08 00 08 02 00 70 E3 03 I also have an Intel VS440FX PPro board, and it works flawlessly on that board. So after seeing the other posts from other people having similar problems and no fixes, I gave up and Im currently looking for another solution. All in all, as a newbie, I wish someone could have thrown a red flag at me, so that I didnt have to kill myself over a weekend trying to make hardware work, but Im not fussing, we all have to go through some growing pains. Im loving it;) Talk to me man _________________________________________ Steiny's Studio Pachyderm Productions http://steiny.hypermart.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
