Hmmm.. we have two machines, 1 newer (can absolutely install freebsd 6.0) and 
this old one. Currently, both of them are running IPVS, heartbeat, Redhat7. I 
will be replacing this with IPVS on FreeBSD plus CARP. I guess I would have to 
find out if NetBSD has CARP and IPVS is already ported

probing devices on a pentium-s 90mhz.... installation can't continue because it takes forever..

[Mark Jayson Alvarez]

Hi,

We have an old pentium-S 90mhz machine running Redhat7
used for LVS load balancer and I would like to replace
it with FreeBSD6.0. The motherboard have two IDE
socket but it doesn't seem to detect the cdrom at all.
No problem, I downloaded the floppy images and then
reboot it. However, on the final booting process, it
just says "Probing devices, please wait (this can take
a while)... and it just sits there and nothing
happens.

Other hardware components are:
its memory looks like an edo ram (more than 113 mb i
think)
it has 2 pci devices installed: a lan card, and a scsi
controller
it has 1 isa device installed: vga card

Any idea what might be happening?
Is this some sort of IRQ conflict problem? I just
removed another isa device(serial,parallel) thinking
it might be conflicting with the vga card, but the
probing is still taking forever.


Thanks..
