The problem was indeed dodgy RAM! I swapped the RAM out for other modules, and buildworld (and the complete upgrade to Stable, as a matter of fact) completed successfully.

I have verified the checksums on the > iso image I used (and the same cd installed the Trinity with no problems) I've got the same problem here on a Tyan Tiger 230 (http://www.tyan.com/products/html/tiger230.html). As well as with your experiences, I can't seem to boot two sets of FreeBSD-5.3 REL CD-ROM sets from different suppliers. Here's what I get with any of the 5.3 REL installation cd's: Just at the point where you'd expect the /sbin/loader bit to start that goes into the FreeBSD boot process, I get lots of (what appears to be hex numbers) gibberish scrolling up the screen. Like you I thought that I might have a faulty cdrom drive, but swapping in a (sealed) drive produced the same results. However, the FreeBSD-4.10 REL cd's do appear to "start" working through the installation, but then I get lots of errors / warnings as follows: acdo: MODE_SENSE_BIG command timeout - resetting ata1: resetting devices... done These scroll up the screen for ages and do not appear to be going anywhere - at which point I power down the system. > > This machine was running 4.10, and in case I have a suddenly bad cdrom, > I have installed 5.1 (the only other 5.x series I have lying around), > which completes fine. I've not got 5.1, but I did try the 5.2.1 CD-ROM Set (from BSDMall) as well with the same failure. What I was able to do is successfully install MS Windows 2K Pro, 2K Server & Fedora Core-3 on the same hardware over the last few hours - in fact, its now running Fedora Core-3 (apparently) happily. I've attached the dmesg from the Fedora install for anyone that might be intested in what the problem might be.
