Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, since I bought my Compaq, I could never install FreeBSD. I mean, the installation succeeds, but I reboot, the booting process stops with the following message: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0x1 fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc018876b stack pointer = 0x10:0xc0652ec0 frame pointer = 0x10:0xc0652edc code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, I0PL = 0 current process = 0 (swapper) interrupt mask = net tty bio cam trap number = 12 syncing disks... done Uptime: 3s Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort If a press any key, it aborts and waits untill I press another key to reboot. It has been like that on my Compaq since FreeBSD 4.1, I also tried 4.2 and 4.3, it has the same problem. Processor is an AMD Athlon 900mhz. I used to have FreeBSD on my older PC, but I sold it to buy this new one. Now I feel like I did something really stupid. I can't wait no more, I have to use FreeBSD, Linux just won't do it. Can you guys help me out? Thanks. A. Demetrio Jr. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
