Image not booting
Hey guys, I've downloaded multiple copies (from different FTP servers), 6.2-RELEASE-ia64 and it seems like this particular image doesn't want to boot up in my system. The i386 and amd64 distro's bootup just fine, but obviously don't work because system architecture is 64bit Intel. I'm out of ideas and I've ruled out the system as at fault. What do you guys think?

RE: Image not booting
Ok guys, I got the amd64 cd booted, it goes through the CD Loader, and the splash screen comes up (I hit enter, selecting the default). It runs through all the stuff, and the last thing I caught on the screen was VGA ISA something, then the system reboots. Does this everytime.

I think you're confusing ia64 and amd64. Most likely your system is amd64-compliant, _not_ ia64. If it was ia64, then the amd64 CD wouldn't boot at all (i.e. it would be dead right from the start). If the amd64 CD boots successfully, then you definitely have an amd64-compliant system, and both amd64 (for a 64bit system) and i386 (for a 32bit system) should work fine. If you have problems installing amd64 later on, then please tell us exactly what the problem is (i.e. at which step during installation, what have you tried, what are the error messages, etc.). When the and64 CD has successfully booted to the sysinstall utility, you can press the ScrollLock key and then the PageUp key to scroll back through the boot messages. At the top there should be a line telling you what kind of CPU exactly your system has. Hope that helps. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH Co.

RE: Image not booting (update)
Ok, so I disconnected to two Raptor drives in the system, and now the system does not reboot, rather it sits at this error: Fatal trap 12Cannot dump. No dump defined. I researched it and found to disable PNP in the BIOS...i'm off to try that. Anything else I should look for? -Original Message- From: VH-Brody [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2007 5:52 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Image not booting Ok guys, I got the amd64 cd booted, it goes through the CD Loader, and the splash screen comes up (I hit enter, selecting the default).
