MAJOR DISFUNCTION! Computer reboots instead of booting FreeBSD!
Dear all of you, My computer (HP Compaq DC7100) refuses to boot to FreeBSD. It enters the= MBR, I then select FreeBSD in the bootloader and the computer reboots! What kind of behavior is thi= s, and why won't it give FreeBSD a chance? I'm aware that some UNIX systems need a patch to work on this type of co= mputer: [1]http://www5. itrc.hp.com/service/patch/wrap.do?pageKey=patch.jsp.archiveJump&admi t= =552267591+1103976356811+28353475 But in my case, what do I need to do? Disabling ACPI in the BIOS doesn't= work. I'm informed (when I reinsert my S-ATA HD) that if I'm running UNIX, I s= hould enable it in the BIOS. But guess what? There are no such options. Believe me I've looked. Does anybody know what's going on? Thanks.

It seems the moths have nibbled away important parts of your query, so for the most part I find it unintelligable.

I am not sure what happened, but it looks like there was a problem with MIME and/or the stripping of it, so some (seemingly) random equal signs were inserted in the message, making it look like blank space after that in those lines of text in some MUAs. Anyway, here's what his post looks like without the garble: -- Dear all of you, My computer (HP Compaq DC7100) refuses to boot to FreeBSD. It enters the MBR, I then select FreeBSD in the bootloader and the computer reboots! What kind of behavior is this, and why won't it give FreeBSD a chance?

What kind of behavior is this, and why won't it give FreeBSD a > chance? I had the same symptom on different hardware. If I watched closely, I could see a kernel error message appear very briefly before the reboot. I tried various things and posted here about it, but could not get past it, and no one offered any help. Disabling ACPI made zero difference. I didn't understand why it would boot fine on the miniinst CD to do the install, but wouldn't boot from the HD (an ordinary ATA one, at that). The problem went away when I gave up on FreeBSD 5.3 and installed FreeBSD 4.10 instead. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

It looks like "Fafa" is a troll. Same message was posted to the misc OpenBSD list. -- Juha ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

He might think his problem is *BSD* related in stead of FreeBSD alone causing the problem. So in asking there too he hoped for more answers (?)
