I'm trying to install 7.0 RELEASE on my server, it's an IBM eServer x225 (
8647-5CG if that matters).
The problem i'm experiencing is that when i boot on the cd (disc1 or bootonly doesn't matter), i get an endless loop of numbers.
Booting on floppy gives me
Code:
int=0000000d err=00000000 efl=00010006 eip=000219b2
eax=000219ac ebx=00000000 ecx=c0000080 edx=000587d8
esi=0003e007 edi=00000000 ebp=0008fcbc esp=00099c88
cs=0008 ds=0010 es=0010 fs=0010 gs=0010 ss=0010
cs:eip=0f 32 0d 00 01 00 00 0f-30 0f 20 e0 83 c8 30 0f
22 e0 b8 00 c0 03 00 0f-22 d8 0f 20 c0 0d 00 00
ss:esp=90 95 00 00 00 80 fc 00-00 90 fc 00 07 e0 03 00
00 00 00 00 07 d0 03 00-00 00 00 00 cc 87 05 00
BTX halted
Apparently x225s are somewhat incompatible with the standard freebsd installation, someone suggested to use the 7.0 snapshot bootonly, 7.0-STABLE-200804-i386-bootonly.iso gives me this screen and then nothing happens
Code:
CD Loader 1.2

Server has a 32bit XEON cpu, 4 gigs of ram, two 76gb hotswap SCSI-disks in a RAID1 array using the builtin LSI-controller. It's currently running windows server 2003r2 without problems, i can also boot the ubuntu server install cd with no problems..
Does anyone have any idea on how i can manage to install freebsd on it?
