Re: 5.3 STABLE Boot CD Fails on PPRO 200 (BTX halted)

2005-03-05 Thread Edwin Brown
Thanks for the ideas. It appears this machine has a pretty crippled
BIOS from dell. There's no way to turn off DMA. So, I'm just going to
stick with booting from the floppies for installs as required.

Thanks for the thoughts. At least I've got something to work with if I
run into this on another machine.

Best regards,

Edwin

I seem to recall recently that I needed to disable ATA DMA from
BIOS on a Dell to install 5.3-RELEASE.  See if that helps.

Re: 5.3 STABLE Boot CD Fails on PPRO 200 (BTX halted)

2005-03-05 Thread Edwin Brown
It's a Dell XPS Pro 200n system tag 72V98

CPU:  Pentium Pro 200MHz
Chipset: Intel 82440FX 
Memory: 128MB ECC SIMM
BIOS: A06 released 01/08/1998 (the last bios for this computer) 
IDE: (MSI DVD drive) (bootable secondary channel master)
   (Maxtor 40GB hard disk) (bootable primary channel master) 

I've also installed a promise ATA/133 card and tried to boot the
computer with the
CD and hard drive attached to that instead of the system board.
However, that fails as well.

I've gone ahead an installed from the floppies with the IDE devices
attached to the motherboard. For some reason the floppies boot fine.

Thanks for the reply,

Edwin

Probably not a hardware failure, but certainly a misbehaving BIOS or
bootable card. What system/motherboard is this? Is there a BIOS update
available?

No, l, I didn't think it was me since the release CD's from
ftp.freebsd.org also fail to boot. They give the same erorr messages
with different memory addresses.

But, I can recomplie with -0. I doubt that will work either.

I didn't cut and paste that. I had to copy everything by hand. It's

It was built on a p4.

Also, the 5.3.isos downloaded from ftp.freebsd.org fail to boot as well. 

It's not hardware related as I'm able to pop in a OpenBSD3.6 snapshot
and boot from that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm going to try the floppies next.
