VIA EX15000G
Has anyone tried this motherboard? With 7.0 boot-only disk, I haven't been able to get as far sa Mounting root filesystem. In fact it stops just before (after probing acd0). As a matter of fact this board doesn't seem to boot FreeBSD 6.3 either, nor 5.4. (Even an old Gentoo 1.4 gets stuck pretty soon in the boot process.) So I thought there might be some BIOS trick I should try before ditching the board. Any help is welcome. -- walter pelissero http://www.pelissero.de ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(As far as I understand, it's an emulation that lets primiteve OSs see the USB disks as IDE disks, or something like that.) This doesn't help FreeBSD, though. -- walter pelissero http://www.pelissero.de ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Have you tried updating the BIOS (if it's available)? -- chs, for the greater good ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As far as I can tell my BIOS is 1.04, while VIA, for the EX boards, provides an upgrade to 1.01: http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/mainboards/downloads.jsp?motherboard_id=450 I'm not sure this is funny. -- walter pelissero http://www.pelissero.de ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
