Hi,
I�ve tried to install FreeBSD on a IBM PC Server330.
It�s an old PCI/EISA PPro machine with an onboard
adaptec7880 Chip (which is connect to the PCI Bus).
Anyway, anytime, when I try to install FreeBSD it hangs
at "Waiting 15sec. for SCSI Devices to settle". The
previous part of the booting message is looking ok, as
far as I can tell.
This happens with 4.2 and 4.3, no matter wether I use
Bootdisks or the CD Rom. Termination is ok (using
external Terminators with no devices terminated) and
I�ve changed the cables, both terminators, the Harddisk
and the CD Rom, so defunct devices are rather unlikely
the problem. ID�s are ok, of course.
NetSD and Linux are booting without problems, but I
definately would like Free on this machine. Also, the
supplied diagnostics diskette from IBM did not unveal
any SCSI Problems.
Anyone any idea or similar experiences ?
For Info, the machine only has two 68Pin connectors,
the 50Pin is not available. For those who know this
machine by chance, I am not having the RAID Adapter
installed.
