I have an AMD based system that is driving me nuts. I am trying to
install 8.2 on it but can't get past the first boot. I had a system up
and running on it before, but I had to remove a drive and do the install
on another computer. That worked, but now I need to use the built in
RAID hardware. As best as I can tell I am going to have to install on
the the actual hardware. Motherboard is an Arima NM46X. The machine
appears to be about 6 years old.
I have tried to boot the install disk, the live filesystem disk, and the
memstick image for FreeBSD 7.0 through 8.2. All of them do exactly the
same thing:
Bootstart starts.
BTX loader lists the drives and memory
FreeBSD bootstrap loader version 1.1 starts. I get the build date and
then a new line with just a '/' on it. It never begins to spin. No
additional I/O occurs with the boot device.
The memstick and CDs are good. They boot just fine on another computer,
just not this one. I have had to work around CD issues in the past, but
I thought the memstick would work if the BIOS would recognize it and
boot from it. It recognizes it and tries to boot. I need some ideas
here as the RAID is essential for this application. Thanks,
Architecture mismatch, trying to boot a amd64 on an i386 machine?
