Greetings everyone. I'm trying to install FreeBSD 8.0 from Disk1 on
ThinkPad T40, so far unsuccessfully.
Here are the setup steps:
Installer complains that 77520/16/63 may not be a good geometry for
ad0, proposes 4864/255/63 instead (both eventually lead to failure).
I create a single disk-wide

The setup tries to create filesystem and fails with this message:

Are you doing a 'W'rite in the labeling tools? I'm guess that you are
not, but I wanted to be sure. You don't want to.
Nope, no write.

Yes, ad0s1b is the swap, but I think it fails before doing newfs.
Writing partition information to ad0 is the last message I see before
the error occurs, no newfs popups occur.
By the way, in the fixit console /dev has ad0b but not ad0s1b.
Can you get this disk into a

these:

Please check if your X binary is linked with libthr (using ldd).
I saw similar problems when it was not.
That was because it was compiled without HAL support.
It is not, and yes I use WITHOUT_HAL. Currently disabling DRI helps;
should I try rebuilding xorg-server with HAL?

Yes, you can still disable hal at runtime by setting AutoAddDevices
Off in xorg.conf.
Seems to work with HAL.
Unloading radeon also works, but the kernel

Sorry, Ian, I don't have anything new, wrt the ATA.
Thanks Ted. Interesting that nobody else seems to have run into this
issue, must be a (some?) Thinkpads thing ..
FWIW, my Thinkpad T40 does the same thing on 8.1: after resume

I always use hint.psm.0.flags=0x6000 in /boot/loader.conf, i.e.,
turn on both HOOKRESUME and INITAFTERSUSPEND, to work around similar

Yes, that helps (after the stall period).

Yes, 0 errors, 0 warnings.
The Thinkpad hardware he's on is old (note the quotes), so I
wouldn't be surprised if the CPU (Intel Pentium M) happens
