Can't Install FreeBSD 5.x into IBM Machine with 2 XEON CPUs and IBM ServerRAID BIOS 5.11...
Dear Sir, I have a IBM machine with 2 Intel Xeon CPUs (2.4GHz) , IBM ServerRAID BIOS 5.11.05, 80P ULTRA160 SCSI DRIVE 36.4G x 5, 1GB RAM. And, I can't install FreeBSD 5.x (5.2.1 and 5.3-beta7) into this IBM machine. When I put the Install CD into CDROM, it just show a lot of message like Register data and I can't pause it so I can't post error message here. :( I just have a question that if i could install FreeBSD 5.x into this IBM machine? Thank you very much. Regard, Botzong Jou ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Without the error messages it is impossible to find anything out. You can try to pause the screen of scrolling mesages using the Scroll lock key and then navigate using the up and down arrows or Pg UP and Pg DN keys. Regards S.

(My first post to this list, so no whining if I top/bottom/whatever-posted incorrectly.) I know that at least with floppy disks such as memtest, if the boot sector is corrupt, you will get lots of hex codes spat onto your screen, as this is the BIOS's only method of reporting errors. Perhaps try a different CD, or making boot floppies installing over the network.
