I am trying to install the 2.2.6 release on a IBM Thinkpad 770ED Model with DVD, 128MB RAM, 8.0GB HDD, 3COM 3C589D-TP. The initial install was problem free, however, the initial reboot locked the machine. When I turn the machine on, the boot process gets as far as the probe for the hard drive and beeps 5 times and locks. Sometimes this occurs after probing the fd0 device. I have tried to do the following: At the boot prompt: wd(0,a)kernel.GENERIC -c Entered 'visual' The machine locks tight after 5 beeps. Sometimes the machine boots successfully. I have tried recompiling a 'bare bones' kernel, still locks up on reboot. Does FreeBSD 2.2.6 support the memory that the 770ED model utilizes? I have successfully install the 2.2.6 release on a plain IBM TP770, but not a 770ED. Any suggestions or comments?
