Can't even run installation =(

[Demoritus]

Greetings,

I have problems with running installation. I have PC-BSD version 0.78, and when I choose "Boot PC-BSD" it loads screen with yellow flower and there's written "Starting system".. 20 seconds after that it gets me in text-mode and there are errors.. Errors are following:

ATA0-master: FAILURE - ATA_IDENFITY timed out

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address   = 0x6
fault code              = supervisor read, page not present

Uptime: 17s
Cannot dump. No dump device defined.
Rebooting in 15 seconds..

I have Serial ATA (SATA) disc, so I'm wondering is it problem..
Friend told me to disable RAID Promise Controller via BIOS, I did it, and error is same again.

I'd really like to use PC-BSD as I heard all the best about it.. Can someone please help me.. It's something about fatal trap 12.. I was searching on forum, and there's nothing that can help me..

you got several options 1, 2 etc. have you tried all of them? for me it only worked when i chose 2 (acpi).

[Demoritus]

I tried with ACPI, but it doesn't work also :cry:

[Demoritus]

I've chosen 2nd option and after screen "Starting system.." it reboots machine (without errors or so). Same situation is with "Boot FreeBSD in safe mode" :cry:

[Rom Raptor]

maybe you should talk to kris when he gets back

[Demoritus]

Where is he? :?:

Holiday I assume. Although there is something eating at the back of my mind about him mentioning preparing for some conference not long ago, so he could be there I suppose. :shock:

[pcbsdusr]

yews, he said he would be out for a few days before 0.8 is released. It is on a thread somewere but i dont remember which thread...

I have exactly this problem on an Acer TM240. booting with acpi disabled just reboots, without it disabled it crashes with the above page fault.
Incidentally... I can run FreeSBIE on this machine fine - so it's an issue with PCBSD

Which version of FreeBSD?
