Re: FreeBSD 5.4, installation hangs
I think you need more memory for the installer. If you can, try adding more RAM to the system board. -Derek At 06:21 PM 3/23/2007, Moon Shine wrote: Hello!

I have seen this error message before, and it was indeed the memory that went bad. You should try to run memtest on it to confirm or deny it before trying the install again.

I even tried Mandrake 10 and it stalls on hard disk driver installation. I then disconnected the SATA drive, connected an IDE drive and the system still halted at the same spot. I have tried to load the aac module but a message early in the boot process states that it was not initialized. I have done a search in google, WD's website, FreeBSD mailing lists and so far no luck.

Re: Re[2]: 5.4 Installation Problems on Dell GX280 - Fatal trap 12
Thanks Stuart for reminding me of my alternative install options. I'll try installing over serial tomorrow. I've never had to install off anything but a CD, so it will be a good learning experience for me anyway. Now to just dig out that old 486 and track down a Null modem cable. . . . Daniel, I'm still a little stumped why you were able to install 5.4 on a GX280 without any problems. Maybe there is some slight variation in the Dell systems even though they are the same model #. Who knows? Or maybe a slight difference in our BIOS configs. At least there is a workaround - if not a very convient one. -John I've had a nightmare trying to get 5.4 (also tried 5.3) to work on a Dell GX280 - which had exactly the same problem.

Also, it looked like it copied the X.org files but never went through the X setup. Is this what it is supposed to do? Yes. You need to configure X yourself. Login as root. From the command line type Xorg -configure. That *should* create an xorg.conf.new file in the current directory that has the correct settings for your setup. When it finishes, it will print out a command you use to test to see if the setup worked. If it did, copy the file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. If it didn't, google is your friend, as well as the Handbook. I have a working text-based FreeBSD system, but I would like to get the Netatalk package installed and also get the X windows system up and running. Once you have the xorg.conf file created, run xdm or gdm to start a window manager. If everything works as expected, edit /etc/ttys to start the window manager at bootup. If you're using xdm, just uncomment the line for ttyv8. If you're using gdm, uncomment the same line, but change xdm to gdm.
