As subject line says.., I'm having lots of problems installing FBSD 2.1R.
I've been running 2.0R for 1 year on a 486DX2 with 8MB RAM and a 540 Meg IDE
disk.
When moving to 2.1R, I've added 32M RAM and a 2Gig SCSI disk with an Adaptec
2842-VL controller.
The partition scheme is as follows : IDE : 456 Meg for DOS
64 Meg Swap
20 Meg root (/)
SCSI : 1100 Meg for DOS
800 Meg for /usr
Now, my FBSD box could not stay stable for more than 5 hours.
I've tried to install 2.1 from scratch, compile kernels with lots of differents
options, slow down the SCSI transfer rate, add wait-states, etc...
No way, after some time my file systems are completely damaged (/etc or /dev or
/usr/share/lib completely destroyed)
Am I doing something wrong ?
Is there any known bug with my hardware ?
Thanks in advance for your answers...
F. Marcos
