Read the list of supported hardware. See: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/index.html select hardware notes' for the release version of the O/S you are using. The '3Ware 8506-4LP is listed there. It requiress the 'twe' disk driver software, which _is_ provided by the standard distribution, *BUT* manual configuration is required. you have to do the indicated 'magic' for the installer before it will see the controller an disks as installation targets. Then you have to do it AGAIN for the installed system, before booting it. The 'twe' manpage describes what is required. You can find it from the hardware notes link mentioned above. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: FreeBSD installation problem
I've tried to install FreeBSD 4.8 Stable on my computer about 5 times but every damn time I get an error when the installation reaches the dependence install. I get an error messages saying something ... error code -1 Please check the debug screen for more info. When I press ALT+F2 I see a screen saying something like gzip ... crc error. I've seen similar problems when memory was on the way out... Or maybe a broken memory chip? The XFree packages tend to be large enough to occupy large portions of the memory and the package gets corrupted when the installer tries to read it back from the memory. Try running memtest86.
