A Google search and some luck led me to the nugget that disabling DMA mode for the IDE drive (and possibly disconnecting troublesome CD drives - but I didn't need to do that) would stop the boot jamming. So I've successfully installed FreeBSD on one machine (with a CD drive) and run it on another (without).

Nope; I can't figure it out either. My craptop is a Gagway, and throws all kinds of erroror messages, depending on the version of FBSD I use. Oddly, Fedora and NetBSD install just fine on the Gagway. X works with both, smooth as silk. Sound under Fedora; never tried it with NetBSD. > The version of FreeBSD I'm trying to install is 5.0. Would creating > a newer install CD solve this problem? I would go to a newer 5.x, if nothing else. I did notice that the error messages decreased in a later 5.x than yours. No joy; but it was a step in the right direction. > The drive I'm trying to install to is a Toshiba MK8025GAS, 2.5" notebook > drive.

Use what works, that is what I decided. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Install hangs with Toshiba 2.5" drive
Running FreeBSD 5.0 installer, I see a few messages along the lines of "configured IRQ 3 is not in bitmap of irqs" and then the following pair of lines: ad0: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting ata0: resetting devices .. And then the system seems to jam, the drive light still on, and no further progress is made even after several minutes. Does anyone know what would cause this? The version of FreeBSD I'm trying to install is 5.0. Would creating a newer install CD solve this problem? The drive I'm trying to install to is a Toshiba MK8025GAS, 2.5" notebook drive. I've successfully installed Windows XP on it to test it, so the drive does not seem to be the problem. Any ideas? -- Bob ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
