FreeBSD 2.1.5 intsall problems Date: Sun, 08 Sep 1996 12:59:02 +1000 Organization: Addease Pty. Ltd. Lines: 32 Message-ID: <32323676.590D@addease.com.au> NNTP-Posting-Host: simonh.mel.interconnect.com.au Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0b8Gold (Win95; I) Is it just me? or does it appear that 2.1.5 appears to have broken functionality that worked just fine in 2.1.0? I installed 2.1.0 on my P100 with 32M RAM, 2 IDE HDD, 1 IDE CDROM NE200 ethernet card etc. "no" problems. Now, with 2.1.5, it won't detect my IDE CDROM, hangs with a "signal 11" trying to initialize my NE200 card wich makes it basically impossible to install as I can not install from my CDROM or via NFS/FTP from a server on our network! I have been _very_ happy in the past so cannot imagine what has happened with this particular release. Please don't take this the wrong was as I am still very happy (if not a little bemused at present) with FreeBSD in general but can somebody please help me out?. My System is as follows: Pentium 100 32M RAM 2 x IDE HDD (HDD 1 - Win95, HDD 2 FreeBSD) 1 x IDE CDROM (IRQ 11, I/O 0x1e8+ -or- IRQ 15, I/O 0x170+) SoundBlaster 32 PnP NE2000 compat. (IRQ 5, I/O 300) Regards, Simon. -- The views and opinions expressed here are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of my employer.
