Date: Thu, 30 May 1996 18:12:12 GMT Organization: SPSS Inc. Lines: 28 Message-ID: <31ade421.1055104@news.spss.com> Reply-To: mckinley@spss.com NNTP-Posting-Host: mckinley.spss.com X-Newsreader: Forte Agent .99e/32.227 I'm the proud owner of a Tyan Tomcat Pentium/PCI motherboard with the Triton II chipset. I've tried several installations of 2.1R and the May 2.2SNAP and ended up with the same mess. After a short period of time ~2 hours of uptime, the filesystems get corrupted. Usually, the first indications are load failures of programs that ran "just a few minutes ago", due to a bad signature of the C runtime shared lib. If you shutdown and reboot, the auto fsck bombs trying to put it all back together. It complains at boot about an unknown PCI bridge(?) id. It does find the adaptec 2940 on the PCI bus and the CDROM and tape drive on the SCSI chain. FreeBSD itself is installed on an IDE drive (wd0) and /usr is hung off on another IDE drive. It's got 32 meg of memory on it, and the typical (Win95|WinNT|OS/2) all work fine... Suggestions welcome. Rob P.S. I'm getting good at the install program :-) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rob McKinley ! Interim Release: SPSS Inc. !
