I have just aquired a few systems based around ASUS P4P8x motherboard with
Intel 865P chipset. Attempt to install both 5.1-R and 4.8-20030810 snap have
failed. I've turned off every onboard device in the BIOS that is possible.
During the install of 5.1 the system hangs at
acpi_cpu0: throttling enabled: 8 steps (100% to 12.5%), currently 100%.
ad4: DMA limited to UDMA33, non ATA66 cable or device
ad4: 156334MB (Maxtor 6Y160L0) [3912632/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA33
acd0: DVD-ROM () at ata3-master UDMA33
Mounting root from UFS:/dev/md0
(at this point the system just sits here)
This drive has been tested in another system and does come up as UDMA100 on
this cable.
in 4.8 the system hangs at
sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff Irq4 flags 0x10 on isa0
sio0: type 16550A
sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap or probed irqs 0
ppc0: parallel port not found
(at this point it's hung)
I'm available all day tomorrow to work through this problem if anybody needs
more information please let me know. I'm assuming that this is a problem
with poor/no support for the 865P chipset . Also please cc me on responses as
that I'm not on -hackers
