I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.10 in a new machine which has an Asus
K8V motherboard with an AMD Athlon 64 2800+ CPU and 1GB of PC3200 ECC
memory. Storage is a pair of Seagate ST-3200822A 200GB UATA-100 disks
in a mirror group on a 3Ware Escalade 7006-2 RAID controller.
Initially, I didn't have a CDROM drive on the machine, so I created a
pair of floppies using /cdrom/floppies/{kern,mfsroot}.flp from the
FreeBSD Mall CD and attempted to boot from them. After loading both
and going beyond the kernel config menu, FreeBSD booted then puked:
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0c
/stand/sysinstall running as init on vty0
panic: page fault
Thinking perhaps FreeBSD 4.10 was being weird, I tried 4.9. It got
very slightly further, displaying most of the first menu screen, before
the page fault.
I then scrounged a CDROM, installed it, and tried booting directly off
the CDROM. Same results, both for 4.10 and for 4.9. I also tried 5.2.1
with a similar outcome.
I didn't think the 3Ware care was likely to be a problem but just to be
thorough I pulled that and tried again. No change.
Naturually I've gone through the archives and it seems that others are
using the K8V successfully.
Any suggestions?
