Hi,
I am attempting an installation of 4.7 Release made from ISO a few days ago on the
following system: AMD Athlon 1400 Aopen AK77-333 MB Western Digital Caviar 20GB Hard
Disk
The system boots from CD A OK, and runs through the install without any problems, upon
reboot after the install is complete the system reports a disk error and FreeBSD will
not boot from the hard drive, it does not begin loading FreeBSD or anything at all.
Other OS's have worked on the same hardware with no problems, I verified the C/H/S
settings for the FDISK, and they are okay, I have tried installing with the FreeBSD
boot manager, as well as with the old Dangerously Dedicared mode, to no avail. I'm
not really sure where I can go from here. I suspected a problem with the hard disk at
first but I have run all the Western Digital diagnostics on it, and they come out
clean. It is running at ATA100 with the proper cabling, and FreeBSD detects this, it
also appears that all of the install files DO copy to the drive, as I can use the
system immediately after the install from the Emergency shell on VTY4, right now it is
online as such running Seti@Home packets without any problems, any help would be
MUCHLY appreciated, thanks!
Matt
