hi freebsd
During Installation FreeBSD 4.7 does not akzept the parameters the Harddisk
Geometrie values of a IBM IC35L100AVV .
the bios is showing 49275/16/255 ;
Linux Kernel 2.4.19 can handle the disk and showing the geometrie of
199450/16/63.
FreeBSD does not want to accept this parameters and is showing
12514/255/63 . Accepting this proposal will reduce the capacity
( because of bad blocks (they aren't there) ) and produce
error messages running FreeBSD.
I don't understand what you tried to do. If you boot the 4.7-RELEASE
install CD-ROM, sysinstall(8) utility starts and guides you through the
installation sequence. If you use the builtin fdisk frontend, you never
should be bothered with harddisk geometry.
That seems very confusing to me.
LINUX Kernel 2.4.20 can not handle the Ali 5229 UltraDMA Controller and the
ALI M1649 + M1535D Chipset, but FreeBSD seems to be able to handle
that.
What to do ?
Depends on what you expect.
I need a FreeOS on this system; I don't know what to try next.
I recomment to stay at 4.7 and if you have some staying power. If you
give up fast, try a current SuSE - they are much close to windows but free.
Can anybody help ?
I think questions@ is a good start.
thanX in Advance

Viel Glück,
