Description eduard.epi 2000-06-17 16:10:03 UTC

I am using an Athlon 700 on an ASUS K7V board with 256 MB Mem
When I try to install FreeBSD 4.0, I get the following crash(copied
the screen):
/boot.config: -P
Keyboard: yes
/

System halted

Fix: 

None :-(
How-To-Repeat: I have tried to boot by CD-ROM, differnet floppies, downloaded images.
The result is always the same. I have also tried slower memory timings.
Win 98 and Linux are running no problem with high load.

Comment 1 eduard.epi 2000-06-27 20:06:31 UTC

I have done some further testing other OSes:
OpenBSD starts OK and so does Solaris 8. This one failes later
with a DMA-problem after mounting the Scsi-CDROM.

I can get a boot-prompt, but no matter what I am typing then,
the crash seems inevitable. Only when typing -Dh, nothing happens
instead of a dump :-(

Have you tried disabling the boot sector virus protection in the BIOS?
ala http://www.FreeBSD.org/FAQ/hardware.html#AEN1373

Thanks!

Here is feedback from the originator:
