Description David 2006-08-12 08:40:15 UTC

I attempted to do a test install of FreeBSD 6.1 ISO on a new machine I was building, the specs were:
*AMD AM2 5000+ dual core
*Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe Motherboard
*1GBx4 Mushkin ddr2 800Mhz
*750GBx4 S-ATA Seagate Barracuda Hard Drive (Tested with and without motherboard NV RAID in 0+1 mode with the same results)
*ATI Radeon 1800 video card
*standard dvd-rom

When attempting to boot in verbose and non verbose mode the machine would hang (to the best of what I recall) on the hard drives.  It was repeatable everytime and it would freeze at this position with no errors for an undefined amount of time.  I might be able to get my hands on a similar system to test it again for a day or so if anyone might have time to poke around, but that's the best I can do :(

How-To-Repeat: Previously stated.

Hellos,

I've had the same experience with my brand new and shiny
amd64 equipmnent...:

Mainboard -> ASUS M2N-E (nforce 570 - *no* SLI)
RAM       -> DDR2 800 CL5 made by MDT (1.8V ... 2x512)
CPU       -> AMD64 4200+ AM2 EE
GPU       -> ASUS Top Silent 7600GS
HD        -> 2x SATA2 Seagate 160GB drives

... it won't boot the official 6.1 REL (hangs after detecting 1st
drive - see screenshots).

but booting/installing from:

  7.0-CURRENT-200608-amd64-disc1.iso

fixed this issue for me.


HTH,

Frank Reppin

Both 7.0-CURRENT-200607 and 6.1-STABLE-200607 (july) snapshots failed.
The 7.0-CURRENT-200608 passed the disk probes, and indeed finished the 
install, but was subject to a massive interrupt storm.

As of today (2006-sep-16) the problem is solved in both 7-CURRENT and 
6-STABLE (soon to be 6.2-RELEASE), I verified personally with 2 
home-built snapshot CDROMs.

I think this PR can be closed (FIXED).
