The system panics during the boot process, so I figured this would be a good opportunity to try out FreeBSD-5.2 BETA. I burned a cd with the freebsd 5.2 beta "mini" iso image, and then tried to install. During the boot process, just after the disks are sensed, the system hangs (the sysinstall screen is never reached). I booted the system in "verbose" mode, and here is the output before the hang (I would have included the entire output, but I'd have to type it all in by hand): ar: Promise check1 failed ata3-master: pio=0x0c wdma=0x22 udma=0x45 cable=80pin ata3-master: setting PIO4 on Promise PDC20265 chip ata3-master: setting UDMA100 on Promise PDC20265 chip GEOM: create disk ad6 dp=0xc31ea760 ad6: ATA-6 disk at ata3-master ad6: 152627MB (312581808 sectors), 310101 C, 16 H, 63 S, 512 B ad6: 16 secs/int, 1 depth queue, UDMA100 GEOM: new disk ad4 GEOM: new disk ad5 GEOM: new disk ad6 Other relevant details: The system has an AMD K7 processor, 256MB of memory, an ASUS A7V motherboard, with a Promise Ultra100 ata controller on the motherboard. The other 2 disks attached to the promise controller are recognized as disks. Any suggestions for how to debug this further? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
