I just bought myself a Christmas present, a new ASUS A7V, Amd Athlon 750, onboard Promise, and 2 x IBM-DTLA-30745 45GB ATA100 disks. In order to install FreeBSD 4.2, I also installed an older 540MB IDE disk. FreeBSD 4.2 was CVSUP'ed and buildworld/installworld done on 31. December 2000. FreeBSD boots fine, and finds the promise and disks. But, whenever try to access the disks, the box freeze solid after 2-4 seconds....a hard reset is required. New BIOS are also installed (1005a) with no luck. I have also reduced all relevant speed settings in the bios, with no luck. The disks are connected with brand new ATA100 cables. There is a working fan on the CPU, and I do not think it is too hot. The BIOS reports MB at 33C and CPU at 41C. Both disks are primary on their own Promise channel. Is there anyone who have some hints as to what might be wrong? I have rebuilt the kernel (GENERIC) and enabled debug. Everything else is left as defaults. But, there is no core, no debug, nothing. Just solid freeze. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
