I've been running 4.7 happily on it for a while and decided to test out 5.0. I was able to boot and do a complete install from the floppies (kern.flp and mfsroot.flp but not the drivers.flp). Upon reboot, however, the system hangs. The system is a Gateway 2000, E-4200 w/ 256MB ram, and a 3Com 3c905B 10/100 card. Proceeding through the boot process, the last output is: --- vga0: <GEneric ISA VGA> at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa0000-0xbffff on isa0 Timecounters tick every 10.000 msec --- The systems simply stops booting there. I've tried "boot -v" for extra information and gotten the same result after this output: --- isa_probe_children: probing PnP devices BIOS Geometries: 0:030efe3f 0..782=783 cylinders, 0..254=255 heads, 1..63=63 sectors 0 accounted for Device configuration finished. procfs registered Timecounters tick every 10.000 msec lo0: bpf attached --- Does anyone have any suggestions about how to handle this headache, or should I just go back to the 4.x track with the computer? -John Reddy ph 703.676.5998 Sr. Network Engineer fx 703.749.9515 Law Enforcement Online (leo.gov) em jreddy@leo.gov
