  Subject: FreeBSD 4.2/4.3 Installation saga!!


  Hi all!
  I have been trying to install FreeBSD 4.2/4.3 on my PC for over a =
month. No
  luck so far. This is  a long story. So, please bear with me.
  Let's start with my hardware configuration :
  - Compaq Deskpro EN Series (Intel 600 MHz, 256 MB RAM)
  - Intel Pro/100+ Alert on LAN* Management Adapter - IRQ 11 - (I/O =
Port)
  0x2000 - 0x203F
  - ATI 3D Rage Pro AGP 2X  -  IRQ 11 - (I/O Port) 0x1000 - 0x1FFF, =
0x03B0 -
  0x03BB, 0x03C0 - 0x03DF
  - Intel 82443BX Chipset and Pentium II Procesor to AGP Controller - =
(I/O
  Port) 0x1000 - 0x1FFF, 0x03B0 - 0x03BB, 0x03C0 - 0x03DF
  - Intel 82371AB/EB (ISA, IDE Controller, USB-UHCI) - IRQ 11 - (I/O =
Port)
  0x2060 - 0x206F for IDE - (I/O Port) 0x2040 - 0x205F for USB
  - Keyboard - IRQ 1 - (I/O Port) 0x0060 - 0x0060, 0x0064 - 0x0064
  - PS/2 Mouse - IRQ 12
  - Two Hard Disks (Disk1 -Primary Master- Western Digital-20GB and
                                Disk2 -Primary Slave - Maxtor - 30GB)
      both attached to my primary IDE Channel - IRQ 14 - (I/O Port) =
0x01F0 -
  0x01F7, 0x03F6 - 0x03F6
  - Memorex 48 X CD-ROM (ATAPI) - Secondary Slave - Secodary IDE Channel =
- IRQ
  15 - (I/O Port) 0x0170 - 0x0177,  0x0376 - 0x0376
  - Standard Floppy Controller - IRQ 6 - (I/O Port) 0x3F0 - 0x3F5, 0x3F7 =
-
  0x3F7
  - ESS 1868 Audio Device - IRQ 5 - (I/O Port) 0x0220 - 0x022F,  0x0388 =
-
  0x038B, 0x0330 - 0x0331
  - Serial Port 1 - IRQ 4 - (I/O Port) 0x03F8 - 0x03FF
  - Serial Port 2 - IRQ 3 - (I/O Port) 0x02F8 - 0x02FF
  - 1 Parallel Port - IRQ 7 - (I/O Port) 0x0378 - 0x037F, 0x0778 - =
0x077D
  - CMOS - IRQ 8 - (I/O Port) 0x0070 - 0x0071
  - Numeric Data Processor - IRQ 13 - (I/O Port) 0x00F0 - 0x00FF
  - U.S. Robotics Fax PCI Win Modem - IRQ 11 - 0x2070 - 0x2077

  As far as I can see, I don't think I have any unsupported hardware =
except
  for my WinModem, which I don't use any way. I have DSL connection.

  Now, Software Inventory on my PC:
  - DISK 1 has WINDOWS 98, WINDOWS 2000 and RedHat Linux 7.1 and this =
disk is
  completely full
  - DISK 2 is brand new and has nothing on it. I want to install FreeBSD =
here,
  on this disk.

  Now, my installation process (If this is not legible on your screen, =
please
  take a look into the TEXT ATTACHMENT, FreeBSD_saga.txt):

  1)Start the Install Process from my CD-ROM.
  2)Start kernel configuration in full screen Visual mode.
  3)I get 7 Hardware Conflicts. This is what I see after expanding all =

  4)I tried several possible combintions to resolve the conflicts, =
starting
  from removing only the hardware that is causing conflicts and does not =
exist
  on my PC to just bare bones configuration. One such example is shown =

  5) I hit Q and then the probe starts. I see messages scrolling by for =
about
  15 seconds and then I
  see I big blue screen (of death!) and it says:

  "Probing Devices.... (This may take a while)"

  and the process comes to a grinding halt. I waited several times for =
more
  than 30 minutes
  and then I had to do a hard boot.

  I have no fancy devices attached to my PC except for those that I =
already
  mentioned above.

  No matter what combinations I tried, I always got the blue screen.

  Unfortunately, my CD-ROM is not attached to the Secondary Master but =
rather
  to Secondary Slave. There is no device at Secondary Master. So, I =
removed
  the CD-ROM from PC and I made two install  floppy diskettes and tried =
the
  install process and I get same exact blue screen!

  Does some one know what's wrong with my computer? Please let me know =
if you
  need any extra information.
  Any help will be highly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance!
