Hi, We have an old pentium-S 90mhz machine running Redhat7 used for LVS load balancer and I would like to replace it with FreeBSD6.0. The motherboard have two IDE socket but it doesn't seem to detect the cdrom at all. No problem, I downloaded the floppy images and then reboot it. However, on the final booting process, it just says "Probing devices, please wait (this can take a while)... and it just sits there and nothing happens. Other hardware components are: its memory looks like an edo ram (more than 113 mb i think) it has 2 pci devices installed: a lan card, and a scsi controller it has 1 isa device installed: vga card Any idea what might be happening? Is this some sort of IRQ conflict problem? I just removed another isa device(serial,parallel) thinking it might be conflicting with the vga card, but the probing is still taking forever. Thanks.. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
