Description Han Timmerman 2001-10-15 23:30:00 UTC

After wiping the system disk (had a previous FreeBSD 4.3 system before)
booted FreeBSD4.4 CDROM and followed instructions. Skipped kernel
configuration part (same procedure as I used with 4.3 release).
The systems installs several device drivers and hangs right after
displaying "plip0 <network.......> on ppbus0". It hangs forever.
The previous 4.3 system brings the "Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI device..."
message. The 4.4 does not but hangs.

How-To-Repeat: Same procedure as reported.
Also removing unused device drivers in the kernel config session does
not solve the problem and the system hangs.
When entering the kernel config session, 7 conflicts are reported. This
was also the case with the 4.3 release but the 4.3 release did not hang.

State Changed
From-To: open->closed


Please send this information to freebsd-questions@freebsd.org. You've covered 
most of the bases, but you should also include whether your conflicts were 
all resolved when you finished the configure for the 4.4 install. Also, 
have you changed anything in your BIOS settings between the two installs? 
Specifically related to the PnP options? 

Good luck, 

Doug
