Well the BIOS is not that old (less than 6 monthes) and as far as I know nothing special is enabled. I succesfully installed 5.0 and 5.1 on it when they came out but when trying to install 5.2-RC2 it fails with messages below.
Hi Thomas, What's the age of the BIOS which is there on the mother board? I would recommend update it. Also disable fancy things like BIOS memory cacheable and memory shadowing in the BIOS Regards Subhro Subhro Sankha Kar Indian Institute of Information Technology Block AQ-13/1, Sector V Salt Lake City PIN 700091 India -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thomas Moyer Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2004 8:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: When I try to boot the install CD I get a huge list of error messages before it even gets to sysinstall. ata2-master: WARNING - SETFEATURES recovered from missing interrupt ata2-master: WARNING - SETFEATURES recovered from missing interrupt ad4: WARNING - SETFEATURES recovered from missing interrupt ad4: WARNING - SETFEATURES recovered from missing interrupt ad4: SET_MULTI recovered from missing interrupt acd0: WARNING - READ_BIG read data overrun 46>0 acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (2 retries left) ata1: resetting devices .. acd0: WARNING - removed from configuration acd1: WARNING - removed from configuration done ata1-master: FAILURE - READ_BIG device lockup/removed ata1-master: timeout sending command=a0 ata1-master: error issuing ATA PACKET command ata1-master: error issuing ATA PACKET command ata1-master: error issuing ATA PACKET command Then the computer locks up completely and I have to power it off I've tried both with and without ACPI enabled and also tried the FTP install but that fails as well. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
