Installation freezes

2009-10-31 Thread Rui Costa
When installing freebsd, after menu option selection, the boot process
freezes at:

md0: Preloaded image 4194304 bytes at 0x80c4be40
ATA PseudoRAID loaded
flowtable cleaner started
warning: no time-of-day clock registered, system time will not be set
accurately
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/md0

Start_init: trying /sbin/init
Start_init: trying /sbin/oinit
Start_init: trying /sbin/init.bak
Start_init: trying /rescue/init
Start_init: trying /stand/sysinstall

It is a laptop clevo M540SR with chipset VIA VN896. Bios options are very
limited, so I can't disabled USB ( as I've seen here

)http://blog.elitecoderz.net/freebsd-freezes-on-trying-to-mount-root-from-ufsdevmd0-and-is-stucked/2009/01/.
It freezes on every version after 6.4, which is the only I can install (that
way, upgrading to 7.0 went flawlessly, but after that, updating to 7.2 gives
boot freeze again )

I already tried some boot hints with any success such as:
set hw.ata.atapi_dma=0
set hint.kbdmux.0.disabled=1
set hint.apic.0.disabled=1
set hint.sio.0.disabled=1
set hint.sio.1.disabled=1
set hint.fdc.0.disabled=1

HP Proliant DL580 G5 - installation freezes (7.2)

2009-07-16 Thread Ewald Jenisch
Hi,

I'm having troubles installing 7.2 (AMD64) on a HP Proliant DL580 G5:
The system boots from the Install-DVD then, while probing the
hardware, it suddenly freezes.

The last thing I see on the console is 

VGA: .

Has anybody else had this problem? Any cure against this?

Thanks much in advance for any clue,

Hi,

Just for the info for anyone out there who might also run into this
problem: Bringing the firmware/bios/SmartArray firmware to the latest
level helps :-)

We did this later today and after that I was able to install 7.2 on
the box.

 Nothing happens after this and the system comes to a stand still.
 I would be really greatful if you resolve my issue or give me any advise
 that would help me to get around this issue.

Have you tried letting it boot in the safe (I think that's what it's
called...) mode?

RE: Installation freezes

2003-09-20 Thread Ph. Schulz
I had some similar issues w/ an old Compaq Armada running at 150MHz.
However, cpu speed is not the problem here but you probably do not have
enough RAM installed.
To verify that, try to install again. During the time the installation is
running, go to the second (I belive) console and watch the output. If you
see notices of processes being killed, and if the process being killed is
init, then you simply should add some RAM to your machine. Or install
FreeBSD 4.8, worked fine for me. When I upgraded from 16MB to 32MB, my
problems were solved and I was able to install FreeBSD 5.1.

Phil.
