Hello, Ok, I have manually tweaked all of the drivers by using the "set hint.driver" options to match my hardware and the OpenBSD boot disk dmesg, and I am still having the same problem. This is on 5.2-RC1.
The 4.9 install stops at the same place as well. I have tried this with the PCMCIA NIC ejected. It would be possible for me to connect to the machine through a serial cable to get a dmesg and show where the install hangs if it would help. If this is a dumb question that is documented and I just need to RTFM, let me know... Thanks for any pointers, Lincoln Rutledge System Administrator Luper, Neidenthal, and Logan lnlattorneys.com -----Original Message----- From: Rutledge, Lincoln Sent: Wednesday, December 24, 2003 10:01 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: install problems on old Compaq Armada 4110 Howdy, I am experiencing lockups when trying to install FreeBSD on a Compaq Armada 4110 laptop.

I tried an OpenBSD boot disk, which worked, so I mounted a floppy and redirected the OpenBSD dmesg to a file: <snipped> _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
