hello guys, sorry if i send email to wrong address.
i have tested 6.2-BETA and the same problem still appear when i want to
install it into compaq evo desktop; BTX HALTED.
like previous version, it stucks when booting from cd on the first
installation. i have follow so many discussion around the internet, and
they
are blaming compaq BIOS, some of them give solution such as change hdd mode
from extended DMA to max PIO, but it won't work. and for your information,
this machine had no problem when installed with windows or linux.
please guys, i hope there will be a fixed on 6.2 so that it will load,
installed, and run on my compaq evo desktop
Go into the BIOS, disable BIOS DMA transfers **. After that it
will boot
normally. I have about 20 EVOs, which this change they run fine. This
is true of all versions of FreeBSD I have ever tried.
** I can't remember the exact name of the option, but it is something
along those lines.
Enjoy,
Dominic
thank you
