Re: 5.3 STABLE Boot CD Fails on PPRO 200 (BTX halted)

2005-03-05 Thread Edwin Brown
It's a Dell XPS Pro 200n system tag 72V98

CPU:  Pentium Pro 200MHz
Chipset: Intel 82440FX 
Memory: 128MB ECC SIMM
BIOS: A06 released 01/08/1998 (the last bios for this computer) 
IDE: (MSI DVD drive) (bootable secondary channel master)
   (Maxtor 40GB hard disk) (bootable primary channel master) 

I've also installed a promise ATA/133 card and tried to boot the
computer with the
CD and hard drive attached to that instead of the system board.
However, that fails as well.

I've gone ahead an installed from the floppies with the IDE devices
attached to the motherboard. For some reason the floppies boot fine.

Thanks for the reply,

Edwin

 Probably not a hardware failure, but certainly a misbehaving BIOS or

 available?

Re: 5.3 STABLE Boot CD Fails on PPRO 200 (BTX halted)

2005-03-05 Thread Edwin Brown
Thanks for the ideas. It appears this machine has a pretty crippled
BIOS from dell. There's no way to turn off DMA. So, I'm just going to
stick with booting from the floppies for installs as required.

Thanks for the thoughts. At least I've got something to work with if I
run into this on another machine.

Best regards,

Edwin

No, l, I didn't think it was me since the release CD's from
ftp.freebsd.org also fail to boot. They give the same erorr messages
with different memory addresses.

But, I can recomplie with -0. I doubt that will work either.

CFLAGS should be -O2 not -02 and you really may want to concider just -O
