Lines: 28 Message-ID: <3336B902.167EB0E7@eunet.cz> NNTP-Posting-Host: woody.eunet.cz Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01 (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.1.6-RELEASE i386) Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:37674 As the subject says I've got a problem installing FreeBSD 2.2 Release on my friend's Compaq Armada notebook (100Mhz Pentium, !6 MB mem, 2 PCI EIDE controllers, 1.2GB EIDE Harddisk, CirrusLogic ??? Video, 3Com 3C589 PCI NIC, ??? intergrated soundcard, PS/2 Trackpad). The machine hang while booting from floppy after probing all devices just before mounting root filesystem. The last message I've got was: apm0: disabled not probed All hardware including the PCI NIC was probed OK (as far I can judge - at least there were no complaints). The only way to make the notebook work again was to cycle power. FreeBSD 2.1.7 Release boots and installs without any problem. Has anybody seen this? Is there any BIOS setting that I should check? Or should my friend rather forget about running 2.2 on Armada? BTW, Micro$hit Windoz patchlevel 95 seems to run...well crawl ,quite OK on this baby. Any hint is highly appreciated. -- Martin Machacek. ====== ____ == | Internet CZ ===== / / / ___ ___ _/_ === | Slunna 25, Prague 6 ==== /---- / / / / /___/ / ===== | 166 28 Czech Republic === /____ /___/ / / /___ / ====== | tel +420 (2) 24 31 13 29 == ======= | fax +420 (2) 24 31 65 98 ====== Connecting Europe since 1982 ===== | e-mail martin@eunet.cz
