Hello, I have an old laptop, a Compaq Armada 1580DMT, with 16M RAM, 2GB hd, floppy and CD-rom. It doesn't have built in networking, neither wired nor wireless. It does have PC card slots. It has had FreeBSD 4.9-release installed a long time, and was recently upgraded to 4.11-release from CD, sucessfully.
However, I would like better pccard support, ie. 32 bit cardbus and wireless network cards, so I would like to install 6.1-release (or -stable) on it. However, when I try the 6.1-release CD (CD1), it boots as far as loading the kernel, botting the kernel, and then reboots again?? I have also tried 6.0-release, and 7.0-current (both July 06 and Aug 06 snapshots) with the same results. Are 16 Megs of RAM to little to install FreeBSD 6.0 or newer? -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
