I have a COMPAQ Presario (laptop) V2615LA with an AMD Sempron 1.83Ghz, 40 G= B HD, 256 MB RAM, I have the i386 arquitecture CD-ROM, I tried to install i= t, I see the FreeBSD boot menu (the one in console mode, with FreeBSD "drow= n" in white), I choose 1 (default), and in the init scripts, it stuck in a = line that says: =20 Timecounter tick every 1.000 msec =20 and the CD light turn off (the CD-ROM drive isn't reading anything) and the= HD led stays on (like there is something reading the disk, and I press ENT= ER, ESC, I waited once almost two hours, but nothing) I also tried the same CD-ROM in a PC (desktop) with Intel Celeron 2.0Ghz, 8= 0 HD, 256 RAM and it runs perfectly (so the CD is ok), but I am out almost = always so I need to have FreeBSD in my notebook. =20 I installed throught my PC FreeBSD in an external HD (it connects via USB),= I plugged in my notebook, boot from external HD and its the same as the CD= -ROM, it stucks in "Timecounter tick every 1.000 msec", but the external HD= runs perfectly in the Desktop =20 I saw the README file in the CD and it says: =20 FreeBSD supports COMPAQ/HP Alpha (alpha), Intel AMD (i386)... =20 so I tried downloading the alpha arquitecture ISO (because I have a COMPAQ)= , but when I boot from CD it happens anything (well, like it tries to read = something but it doesn't appears anything) and it go right to Windows. =20 is there another arquitecture I should try? (like amd64 (but my CPU is not = 64)) should I go to loader prompt and make some commands? is freeBSD not avaiable for some notebooks (because the drivers, or the bra= nd)? should I format all the HD and install FreeBSD in the hole disk? =20 Thank you and sorry my English, I'm from Mexico _________________________________________________________________ =A1Descarga m=E1s de 30 emoticones GRATIS y haz m=E1s divertidas tus charla= s! http://emoticons.prodigymsn.com/=
