Short answer: No.
Long answer: Copying error messages, logfile and related information
into a mail can only be a supplement to a proper problem description.
It's evident that you obviously have some kind of hardware problem.
But nobody here on this list can tell what hardware you're using, e.g.
- mainboard
- CPU
- the card in question (as much as possible, including possible chip
revisions, bus type etc.)
- What devices are connected to the card (as it appears to be a SCSI HBA).

The the question is, what software you're using.
- What FreeBSD Version (6.0, 6.1, 6.2, latest Patchlevel, 7.0_PRERELEASE...)
- Information about your kernel: Is it GENERIC, or did you compile your own?
- Are you using i386 or arm64?

And finally:
- What did you try to resolve this issue?
- Did you rule out any hardware related issue, e.g. a broken cable, a
connector not being in place properly. Did you try another slot?
- Oh yes: When does this error show up? During the initialization of
the card? Or when you try to access one of the attached devices?

If you're new to the BSDs, FreeBSD may be easier to start with.
This shouldn't prevent you from trying out the other variants too.

It's beena while since I touched OpenBSD, but while I liked it as a nice
secure server, I don't know about it good for desktop use (as compared
to FreeBSD). 

Otherwise, I think you wouldn't go wrong with either one.

Sounds like you want Mandrake Linux.

You can download and burn the ISOs for FreeBSD. Another option is to
do a FTP install. Bear in mind though that FreeBSD is not Linux. You
will be installing a new operating system--not upgrading your existing
one.

RE: Can you help me?

Yes, you can install over ftp.  You'll need to make some bootable floppies
for the install and setup your internet connection with the install.  IF you
have a CD burner though you could download the ISO, burn it, and install
from the CD.

You can find some install questions here.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/install.html

Also, I reccomend you look at the freebsd handbook which has some usefull
information as well here.

Good luck,

Ed

Hi;

My name is Patrick and am runing SuSe Linux 8.1 at the moment.
But I would like to Upgrad to FreeBSD.
Can this be done over the Web?

FreeBSD can be installed over the web.  You might wish to
clarify why you used the word 'upgrade.'  If you are wanting
to keep your existing hard disk data and partitions, it won't
be quite as easy, but it shouldn't bust your chops either.

To get started with FreeBSD, I'd recommend reading the
Handbook:  www.freebsd.org/handbook/
