I tried installing FreeBSD 4.5 on the system, (I didn't have anything newer laying around, and I didn't want to download 4.8.) And I was able to run programs once the initial copying was done. I enabled Linux compatibilty and setup X, along with setting root's passwd. The install finished sucessfully then when I booted into it I got this: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0x0 fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8 :0xc01b1260 stack pointer = 0x10:0xc04b8fec frame pointer = 0x10:0xc04b8ff8 code segment = base rx0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 current process = Idle interrupt mask = net tty bio cam trap number = 12 panic: page fault Uptime: 0s I hope this helps, I'd be willing to try a later version than 4.5. I was thinking about trying 4.8 anyway since it has firewire support. -matt State Changed From-To: open->closed You need to upgrade to 5.1 to get support for this SiS chipset. |
I downloaded the ISOs and checked the MD5s before and after writing the data to the CDs. When I try to install anything other than minimal the install fails (usually while trying to pkg_add perl.) If I do the minimal install passwd fails to run when trying to set the root password, but the install finishes. When I boot into the system after that I'm forced into single user mode, and when I try to run /bin/sh it cannot execute it. Fix: None that I know of. Could it be possible that the kernel is somehow misidentifying the processor, activating some processor specific extensions, and loading the executables into memory in a way that the chip doesn't understand? How-To-Repeat: Install FreeBSD 5.0 i386 on a SS51 based system.
