FreeBSD 5.3 installation problem
Hi, When trying to install FreeBSD 5.3 on my computer, I get the following error No disks found. But I can install without any problem Linux or Windows on that computer. The hard disk is IDE 160 GB (Western Digital). Does anyone have an idea on a solution?

They won't be created automatically. checked, I force the 777 mode on the /cores directory And the %U directories? I create manually the 0 directory for root and the 114 for me with the same 777 mode is there any white papers to explain who to configure the core file configuration, perhaps I miss something hervé so big file are managed without any pain. correct ? Correct. thanks, I will test it Kris ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Découvrez le nouveau Yahoo!

The hard disk is IDE 160 GB (Western Digital). Does anyone have an idea on a solution? 5.4 just came out, it might be useful to try with that or with 4.11 instead, and see whether they do any better. The next step, or maybe the first step if you want to try with 5.3, is to try booting via safe mode via the startup menu, which disables ACPI, DMA, and all sorts of stuff, and may work enough to install (albeit slower and without powermanagement stuff). You should review and adjust other BIOS settings, such as making sure the BIOS sees the drive in LBA mode (set it directly if need be, don't use automatic). You might also double-check for a BIOS update for your hardware, that may help. -- -Chuck PS: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and freebsd-questions@freebsd.org are the same mailing list, please don't cross-post the way one might do via Usenet. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
