Re: FreeBSD and Asus A7N8X

2005-05-27 Thread Lee Harr

I'm trying to install FreeBSD on my pc, but both 4.10 and 5.3, after
installation , block at first boot.
I know there is a problem whit my motherboard, ASUS A7N8X deluxe that it
is not supported by FreeBSD.
Can you tell me if 5.4 works on my motherboard? Or a site where I can
download 4.9 that may be the last working relase on my asus.




Try disabling firewire in the bios.

I had the same problem with my system (A7N8X). Worked until 4.9 then
stopped working.

Disabling firewire allowed me to boot.




Thanks for the tip on disabling firewire to get this board to work.
Do you have the sata raid going as well?



Never tried it.

Hi

I don't know about your board but a quick search on google brought that link 
up:

http://www.linorg.sc.usp.br/iso/FreeBSD/4.9/

If I were you I would definitely try 5.4. As far as I know alot of things were 
fixed.

A more elaborate description of your problem might also yield better results 
on this list...

Cheers...

I have that board and most everything works. There are some issues with 
the sk0 onboard ethernet (Marvell 88E8001), and RAID may be tricky/not 
supported using the onboard SATA controller, though I haven't tried it 
personally. You should use 5.x instead of 4.x, in this case use 
5.4-RELEASE. IIRC 4.x doesn't completely support the hardware.
