This box ran with 6.2-REL for ages fine, but didn't like a remote upgrade to 8.1-REL, it also seems fine on 7.3-REL. - 8.1-REL wouldn't get past cd bootloader, stated various irq errors ( floppy disk controller mainly, even after this and all serial ports had been disabled in bios). sorry, I don't have the full error message but it was fatal page faults, with address violations. - interim test of ubuntu 10.10-server-i386 installed fine -7.3-REL installed no errors, but on a binary upgrade to 8.1 reverted to same errors as above reinstall of 7.3 worked ok and is running fine now Although its an older server, i don't have any reason to suspect hardware issues. Its has a peculiar bios and attempts to get serial access working on any of the successful installs usually ended in weird failures.. Paul. Copyright (c) 1992-2010 The FreeBSD Project.
