OK this was all a red herring :o(

The fault turned out to be that in BIOS I had USB support for legacy
KBD/MOUSE/FDD enabled.

Then the installer hung while I had an ATMEL USB development board
plugged in, and also a MGE USB UPS.

So it looks like the install loader hangs on USB devices that are not
generic (USB HP ScanJet 5200C, Aopen optical USB mouse and M$ USB
keyboard are ok)

Installing the 5.2 Boot Loader trashed Win XP, but a rebuild fixed win
XP with no loss of data (but I had the data backed up anyway) and I
installed GAG boot loader so I could dual boot.

Everything seems to be running sweet now :o)

Regards,

Kat.

Please reply to the list, not me personally.  Others may have the same problems, and

Can you download and try 5.2-RELEASE-i386-miniinst.iso?

We'll see if there's a difference - if so, then it lies with the iso image (did you 
check the md5sum before burning?).

Google ist your friend:

Searching for "FreeBSD ACPI autoload failed - no such file or directory" yielded:

http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=923898+0+archive/2002/freebsd-current/20020317.freebsd-current

which had as a follow-up:

http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=13624+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2002/freebsd-current/20020324.freebsd-current

and

http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1041883+0+archive/2002/freebsd-current/20020317.freebsd-current


So, perhaps the media/build you have are corrupted.  Which 5.2 are you trying to 
install? RELEASE, CURRENT?

I've got RELEASE (specifically, the i386 miniinst iso-image), and it worked for me.

Dear Kat,

I have recently install FreeBSD 5.2 (Release version) and ACPI is 
working just resonable good for me.

Could it be that your system doesn't support it?

Can you give more debug info?  The kernel prints out copious messages to the screen 
when it's loading.  If they go by too quickly to catch, you can press Scroll-Lock, and 
then either use the arrow keys or the PageUp/PageDown keys to navigate.

It'll be quite a lot of typing, unless you're booting from a serial console and can 
copy-paste.

Yeap, only option that does not hang is 6, but it would if I sent it
back on its way lol

5.2 install hangs after menu

2004-02-09 Thread Kathy Quinlan
I am trying to install FreeBSD5.2 on an Athlon XP 2100+ machine with
512Mb ram and 20gb hdd (5gb partition for FreeBSD)MSI 745 Ultra
motherboard.

If I select any option on the menu, it tries to install and then hangs
saying BTX halted. Even if I use option 3 (safe mode)

If I select option 5 (verbose debug) it gives the following error
message:
ACPI autoload failed - no such file or directory.

Any help is appreciated, as google has turned up nothing :(

Regards,

Kat.
