Hello everyone, I'm trying to get v6.0-STABLE installed on a PC that is running Windows (XP Pro) now. The hardware is very stable with Windows, it's just bogged down with all the updates and third-party apps you need to keep it that way. I'm running FreeBSD in other systems but haven't tried this newer version yet. However, the system locks up at a different place everytime I attempt the install. It seems completely random. Sometimes I get to where it's mostly configured and I'm adding ported apps and sometimes it doesn't run long enough to get to that point. Once it locks up, it will not respond to any input. More often than not, the lock up happens when I'm adding ported apps so I tried the obvious - not loading any. After getting it booted up that way (which I'm able to do argueably because of the short amount of uptime) it will still lock up after 5-10 miutes of messing around with it. I have also tried skipping over configuring and bringing up the Ethernet interface but it will still lock up. It seems like no matter what it doing, when it locks up is determined by the amount of uptime which varies from 5 to 10 minutes or so. I have tried booting the "without ACPI" option and it won't even boot up that way due to some IRQ 19 error. Normally I see no real problems on the screen during bootup. I'm running the Gigabyte 7N400-L motherboard with NForce2 chipset + Corsair XMS DDR + AMD XP+ 3200 cpu + ATi RADEON 9600 Pro 256MB + SATA PCI add-on card w/ (2) SATA HDDs + (2) ATA HDDs Shouldn't this system be fully supported? I'm going to try this again tonight without the SATA drives to see if that's the issue.
Any other ideas would be appreciated. Steve
