Tryed installing from floopy, and booting from cd. on both occasions after detecting my devices the installation froze on the screen right after it has probed the devices.

I solved the problem by enabling the "Plug & Play" option in the BIOS.

These problems can be tricky to track down, but the hardware you have seems standard enough and there is no obvious reason why you should be having a problem. http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=29096 From: n4okg@mobis.com (Al Turner) To: , Cc: Subject: Re: i386/29096: freebsd 4.2/4.3 hangs after probing devices, on the setup screen, keyboard apears frozen Date: Sat, 2 Mar 2002 18:51:02 -0600 This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0003_01C1C21B.33550540 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable My problem was similar and was cured by selecting "PNP OS" in the bios = -HOWEVER - once the installation was complete, and I was finished = playing with "/stand/sysinstall configPackages", I had to reset the = bios to "PNP OS =3D NO" so that my sound card would be activated after = recompiling the kernel.
