>Description:
I burned the installation cds( FreeBSD 7.0-Release ISO i386 ). During
the installation, the screen starts to vibrate violently once the "Main
Installation Menu" is shown. Then the  keyboard becomes useless and the
only thing I can do is to shutdown the computer. This happened every
time I try to install FreeBSD 7.

 

 BTW: I tried the installation CD on my old Gateway P3 500mhz pc, and it
worked fine. I also burned another 7.0 installation cd and that cd
doesn't work on the Dell, either. Should there be hardware compatible
problems?

>How-To-Repeat:
This happened every
time I try to install FreeBSD 7.
