Hi, I'm trying to install FreeBSD 6.1 RELEASE AMD 64 on a new computer I bought, it has a ECS C51GM motherboard, with one SATA 2 hard disk, and an AMD Athlon 64 4200+ X2 on socket AM2. When I boot with the install CD, it crashes before starting the sysinstall, just after it finishes showing the details about the DVD writer, which I presume happens when it's checking for hard disks. I managed to get sysinstall to start when I booted it up in safe mode, but then when I tried to install FreeBSD, it said no hard disks detected. I hope someone can help me to figure out how to install FreeBSD 6.1 RELEASE AMD 64. Here are more details about the motherboard: Motherboard Name: ECS C51GM Chipset Name NVIDIA GeForce 6100 & nForce 410 CPU Socket Type Socket AM2 Form Factor Micro ATX CPU Compatibility All AMD Socket AM2 Memory FSB DDR2 667/533 Memory Slots 2 Max Memory 16GB PCI 16X 1 PCI 1X 1 PCI 2 Integrated Graphics Geforce 6100 based 2d/3d engine IDE 2 UltraDMA 133/100/66 Connectors SATA 2 RAID Level Raid 0,1 Support Audio Realtek AL655 6-channel audio LAN Broadcom AC131 10/100 USB 2 internal, 4 external USB Speed 2.0 ___________________________________________________________ All new Yahoo!
