Check your system bio's and turn off virus boot detection. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of michael Alexander Sent: Monday, December 15, 2003 5:17 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Installation troubles Hi, I am trying to install FreeBSD (have tried 4.9, and the 5.1 ISO's) It hangs at: Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle My hardware: Intel NA440BX MB, 512MB ram, dual PIII 350 processors Mylex Acceleraid 250(DAC960) Latest bios/firmware downloaded and installed on both MB and Raid card last week. ISO's downloaded last week as well. I know the raid card works, I had netware installed on the machine prior to moving it to new hardware. If there was an option to install unlisted drivers at the initial setup screen, where I am suppose to remove drivers that do not apply, then I might be able to continue on and get this installed. I selected FreeBSD because it seemed to be abit more up to date with releases of other software we would be running (Sendmail 8.12.10, etc) Any suggestions where to begin troubleshooting the install? I did download the latest drivers for the card as well, but all the install instructions I've found assume there is already a working FreeBSD system, which I do not have. (FWIW, Redhat 9 also is failing to install, it locks up loading its DAC960 driver -never even gets to any sort of config) Thank you, Mike _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
