I have problems installing FreeBSD 2.1 on an Asus P55tp4 with the Asus NCR
SCSI controller. When the (novice) install tries to write the partition table
I get a panic: The main screen says that init has died and the debug
screen says:
ncr? scatter/gather failed residue = 1619921920
sdo: oops not queued
biodone buffer already done
init died (signal 0 exit 1).
I have seen mention of this error when searching the www mailing lists,
but I have not found any workaround or fix for this.
I have tried the boot floppies from 2.2 970501 SNAP (boot.flp and boot4.flp)
and also 2.05. All gave similar errors.
2.1 FreeBSD has run on this machine before without problems.
HELP ...
