Hi all, Recently my PCI graphics card failed on my Dell Dimension 4100. I replaced it with a known good card I had lying around: an Nvidia GeForce 3 TI200 with an AGP interface. My FreeBSD installation will not boot with this graphics card. The boot loader hangs at the twirling baton as follows: /boot/kernel/acpi.ko text=0x43698 data=0x23c0+0x10f0 syms=[0x4+0x7ba0+0x4+0xa828] \
I'm running 7.1-RELEASE generic kernel. Anyone ever see anything like this before? Any ideas on how I can debug? Is there anything I can do with the loader prompt to see what is happening when this occurs? The keyboard still seems responsive when this happens (the caps-lock, num-lock, etc. still work). It is almost as if the boot loader is unsure how to send output to the AGP bus. I have tweaked every possible setting in the very limited BIOS but nothing helps. BTW, I know that my hardware is good because this is a dual boot system and I am able to boot into Windows just fine. I am also able to run Linux from a live cd. However, I also tried a FreeBSD install disk and it hangs at the same place. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer! -William _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail® goes with you. http://windowslive.com/Tutorial/Hotmail/Mobile?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Tutorial_Mobile1_052009_______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
