what's next? (error after BTX started)
This computer I'm writing from is a Compaq Evo D310m/845 r BU ALL I found enthusiastic articles about FreeBSD, so I decide to download the stuff (FreeBSD5.4RELEASEi386) and I start to load it. The result follows... Building the boot loader arguments Looking up /BOOT/LOADER... Found Relocated the loader and the BTX Starting the BTX loader BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01 Console internal video/keyboard BIOS CD is cd0 BIOS drive C: is disk0 BIOS drive D: is disk1 BIOS 639kB/252928kB available memory FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1 ([EMAIL PROTECTED], Sun May 8 05:59:07 UTC 2005) | int=0xd err=0x0 efl=0x30246 eip=0x3034 eax=0x205d ebx=0x4 ecx=0x2000 edx=0x288c esi=0x8d5 edi=05b74c ebp=0x1538 esp=0x1502 cs=0xf000 ds=0xee00 es=0xee00 fs=0x0 gs=0x0 ss=0xee00 cs:eip=0f 20 dd 81 e5 00 f0 0f-20 c2 0f 01 e0 a8 01 75 08 80 e2 fe e8 53 ff eb-21 0f 20 e0 a9 30 00 75 ss:esp=4c b7 05 00 d5 08 00 00-38 15 00 00 22 15 00 00 04 00 00 00 8c 28 00 00-04 00 00 00 5d 28 00 00 BTX halted End (that's from me:)) Note: an underscore blinks under the e from esi I was advertise by a small banner that the computer was designed for an obscure system produced by a company in Redmont, somewhere in the West o USA, Windows XP, but I didn't mean it. Is that true? I'd like to deny this, but I'm not so good to provide an argument, i.e. installation w/ 1280x1024x32/70Hz X Windows. Hope you will help me guys, until my boss change his mind of Open Source and Friends (however, take your time, various linuces worked on this box). But seriously, I noticed that something strange is happening w/ booting even Micro$ on theese boxes, as well on some compaq laptops: the only floppy I manage to boot from was a Partition Image one, and when I installed an Open on a laptop, I discover a hidden partition at the begining of the hard disc. Several Live CDs and other booting CDs stuff, an W2k including, also failed. I have 20 boxes like this, and that's happend not only on a specific one, so it can not be a CD drive problem. Help me, please! just once!

On my Compaq Prolient they are called at boot time by pressing F10.

Rob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well, we have Evos at work, and with us all the machines produce the same results. FreeBSD 5.1 worked fine on those machine, but after that it refuses to boot. One of my colleagues mentioned that the ATA controller is not (well) supported. FreeBSD 4.11 does work I think. About the utility partion Robert mentioned, I'm not too sure if that exists on the Evos. Because if that was the case, Windows or Linux shouldn't boot either, and they both do. It's more of a FreeBSD problem (or, well, maybe just the crappy hardware in it). I've never found a solution for this problem. This reply maybe doesn't help you that much, but I figured you might be interested to know that you're not the only person having problems with them.
