I just upgraded my motherboard from an ABIT BH6 to an ASUS CUV4X. I have an 8.4G hard drive as the primary master drive, an ATAPI CD-ROM as the primary slave drive, and a TEAC CD-W54E CD-RW as the secondary master drive. Whenever I try to install FreeBSD 4.2, 4.1, and even Redhat 7.0, I get errors. For example, when I try to install 4.2, the debug screen says there's a WRITE timeout. It then tries to reset it, and then it says "device disappeared!" This all happens when it tries to write the partition table. It then says "panic: Going nowhere without init". And then it reboots. At first I thought it was a problem with the hard drive, but then I successfully installed FreeBSD 3.4. Why does 3.4 work but 4.2 doesn't? Thanks, Mike Please CC my address as I'm not on this list.
