X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2006 20:01:49 -0000 I've got SCSI Plextor CD-drives in my computer (AMD Athlon XP-based), and ATA harddrives. When I try to install FreeBSD 6.0 booting from the CDs, it stops with "Error, unable to load kernel". I tried first with 6.0, then with 5.4. Interestingly the 5.4 installer says "Unable to load matching kernel". I then made the install floppies, and used those to boot from, and then it installed without a problem. Although the disk slicer did make a few errors in the partition table, which I had to fix to get Windows to work properly (did a dual-boot install). Just wondering: Does FreeBSD have an issue with SCSI CD-ROM drives, or is it just the install bootup??? Need some documentation before I can actually use it for anything, but atleast now I've figured out how to get it on my harddrive...
