Re: RE: [pfSense Support] ISO problems ... still
I found that the 0.76.4.iso still hangs (Waiting for Backend on ANSI screen) EVEN when the CD HDD ARE on the same channel (ie: primary). I did successfully do an upgrade from 0.74.8 0.77 this morning and all went fine. I haven't seen a newer version of the iso (0.76.4 has been up on the mirrors for a couple of days now).--David L.

On 8/11/05, Kerry Schrantz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: David, You are definately on to something with the IDE channels. I have PFsense running just fine on my production box (Compaq) but I have been having a heck of a time getting it installed on a particular test machine (white box). I then started playing with FreeBSD, PC-BSD and DesktopBSD and none of them would install on my machine so I figured it was my box and left it alone for a while. Now that you mentioned it the CD is on the secondary IDE channel and the HD is on the primary channel. I'm gonna play tonight and see. I'll keep the list updated. Many people I know that build PC's always set the HD's on the primary channel and the CD' on the secondary. might be a common thing All the boxes I've tried have the HD in primary and CD on secondary and I haven't had issues. Most PC's are setup that way, so I think we'd be seeing a LOT more issues if that was always the case. Especially with FreeBSD, given the number of installs out there. I've installed dozens of different FreeBSD systems with HD on primary and CD on secondary with no issues. If you see the same issues with DesktopBSD, FreeSBIE, DragonFly, and pfsense, that's understandable as they all use the BSD Installer. When you throw FreeBSD into the mix, it starts to make a lot less sense. Those using Dell systems, do you have the latest BIOS on them? On older Dell systems I've had some weird problems with FreeBSD due to BIOS bugs. An upgrade to the latest BIOS resolved them. there's obviously still something else going on here, but that's a good thing to do in the mean time. ;) -cmb - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yup, that did it. All I did was move the CDROM from Secondary Master to Primary Slave and the install went right thru. This was on 0.73.8.
