I have already installed multiple times FreeBSD on many machines. I just got a Pentium Pro processor on a Natoma motherboard chipset. It is impossible to install the 2.2 Release on this machine. I also have an old Pentium 66 processor, if I switch all my cards, hard drives, and memory to the old machine then the install goes fine. The problem is that I systematically get this message : Unable to link /kernel into place If I open the debuging window I see : ....normal stuff man/man1/Xmseconfig.1.gz 100 blocks pid 124 (sh), uid 0 : exited on signal 4 (core dumped) illegal instruction - core dumped What does the install script do that could cause an illegal instruction & core dump ? I tried to install the distribution on the old system and then bring the disks back to the new machine but this does not work, my BIOS versions are incompatible and for the same parameters do not give the same disk space, so the geometry seen by the boot loader is different. Has someone any clue ?
