Re: Error installing 5.3-release before sysinstall
I just realized that I broke the thread. For continuity's sake, here is my post, again: If I choose too boot without ACPI, then that particular warning is removed. OK, so can't you just do this? Many older systems do not support ACPIbrproperly (i.e. they only support it to the level required to run windows), so you just need to disable it to run FreeBSD on them. When I said that particular warning is removed I meant that the ACPI warning is removed; the other errors are still there and it still does not continue on into the configuration/installation menus. So it continues and prompts me that the computer will be automatically rebooted. nick --- On Tue 02/22, Kris Kennaway [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Kris Kennaway [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2005 13:46:55 -0800 Subject: Re: Error installing 5.3-release before sysinstall On Tue, Feb 22, 2005 at 04:37:15PM -0500, Nick wrote:br br I am attempting to upgrade my system from 4.9 to 5.3-RELEASE.

Error installing 5.3-release before sysinstall
I am attempting to upgrade my system from 4.9 to 5.3-RELEASE. I removed my 4.9 partition using /stand/sysinstall. Next, I booted from the mininstall CD, and a menu with the beastie and seven boot options is presented. When I attempt any of the boot options, it gives errors and warns me of an Automatic reboot in 15 seconds. The lines leading up to this warning are: *** ep0: eeprom failed ot come ready. ep0: ep_alloc() failed! (6) panic: resource_list_release: resource entry is not busy Uptime: 1s Shutting down ACPI If I choose too boot without ACPI, then that particular warning is removed. I am able to exit to loader prompt from the initial menu, but I cannot (that I know of) run /stand/sysinstall to begin the installation from here. Booting in Safe Mode and Single User Mode fail similarly. What should I do to properly install FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE? The PC is an older Gateway Essential, with a Pentium III chip in it. It has Windows 2000 currently installed on a separate partition.

Hi, try disabling ACPI in your BIOS. Simon pgpEhttnkay56.pgp Description: PGP signature
