Hello! I'm trying to install FBSD 6.0-Release on one of my servers. The server, with the same hardware, has been running FBSD 5.4-Stable just fine. The problem is that every time I try to install FBSD 6.0- Release the system crashes when trying to extract base into /, the crashes seem to occur at random point into the progress. I've tried as much as I can think of, as disabling the onboard USB, IEEE1394, LAN, audio and FDD from BIOS. I've also tried to boot without support for ACPI and underclocked the Athlon XP-M 2600+ to 800MHz to minimize any hardware faults. The system should be stable as it has no problem running both prime and memtest86 without faults for 7+ days. A picture of the panic: http://qwqb.com/temp/fault.jpg The hardware consists of: Motherboard: Abit AN7 nForce2 v.1.9 BIOS: http://www2.abit.com.tw/ page/se/motherboard/motherboard_detail.php? pMODEL_NAME=AN7&fMTYPE=Socket+A CPU: Athlon XP-M 2600+ Memory: TwinMOS 2*512MB Winbond BH-5 ATA-controller: Promise Ultra133TX2 Graphicscard: Asus Geforce Ti4200 128MB NIC: Intel PRO/1000 MT Server Adapter Thanks in advance! //Tanel Rebane
