Hi,
Iīve tried to install FreeBSD on a IBM PC Server330.
Itīs an old PCI/EISA PPro machine with an onboard
adaptec7880 Chip (which is connect to the PCI Bus).
Anyway, anytime, when I try to install FreeBSD it hangs
at "Waiting 15sec. for SCSI Devices to settle". The
previous part of the booting message is looking ok, as
far as I can tell.
This happens with 4.2 and 4.3, no matter wether I use
Bootdisks or the CD Rom. Termination is ok (using
external Terminators with no devices terminated) and
Iīve changed the cables, both terminators, the Harddisk
and the CD Rom, so defunct devices are rather unlikely
the problem. IDīs are ok, of course.
NetSD and Linux are booting without problems, but I
definately would like Free on this machine. Also, the
supplied diagnostics diskette from IBM did not unveal
any SCSI Problems.
Anyone any idea or similar experiences ?
For Info, the machine only has two 68Pin connectors,
the 50Pin is not available. For those who know this
machine by chance, I am not having the RAID Adapter
installed.
