Install freeze
Hi sorry to bother anyone, but I have looked high and low for about 4 days trying to find a solution to this problem with no avail. I have a Toshiba Dynabook v4/410pmew Japanese model.(I lived in Japan for 2 years) And I am trying to install FreeBSD. I have tried many other dist of Linux but have always wanted to give FreeBSD a shot. Any way I put in the install iso and it goes to the boot screen and then after it starts the boot it starts to check the hardware config, normal stuff right. And then nothing it gets to the usb0 and says legacy USB device(or something) and freeze. I can't type nothing no ctl+alt+del nothing. I tired disable the USB module to see If that was a problem but no go. I am not a complete n00bie but I am stumped I even tried booting with another Linux disc to see if I can do the install through a command prompt but I don't know enough about Linux or FreeBSD to do that. So any suggestions? Any help would be really great Thanks.

Re: Install freeze
What are the USB devices present on your lappy? Is it possible to completely disable USB from the BIOS and try to go through install? Also which version of FreeBSD are you trying out? Regards S.

[snip] I don't know if this is at all the same issue, but I have a laptop, whose CDROM stops spinning when it thinks it isn't used, and if the CDROM isn't spinning, sysinstall will spit out errors when it tries to use it. A second or so later, the drive will start spinning, and if I re-try the sysinstall action that needed the CDROM, it will succeed. (Sorry, I don't recall the error messages; this was during install, I've misplaced my notebook, and I've had no similar problems since completing install.) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
