Now, FreeBSD 1.1 reboots endless: It checks the filesystem on the SCSI hard drive (FUJITSU-2964ESA connected to a AHA1542C with FAST SCSI disabled, On the SCSI bus is a Archive 2525 tape drive, and a NEC Multispin CDROM reader, too. The system has 16 MB RAM, and 256KB cache) but immediately, when checking is finished, the system reboots. I tried conservative BIOS setups (all caches and shadows disabled, introduced waitstates etc), but nothing did help. Because all data were backed up, I tried a fresh installation of FreeBSD 1.0.2 (off the CDROM). It failed when it tried to access /dev/sd0d (at the moment when disklabel is set up): reboot!! What's wrong with my system and what can I do beside buying a new motherboard? :((( Thanks in advance. Robert
