Installation Hangs: IDEQ 220N (nforce2)

[Jordon Hofer]

Hmm.  This sounds like what I am experiencing.  I just sent a message to
this list (actually, I tried sending it last week, but it didn't go through.
I changed outgoing mail servers and it worked instantly) that details my
problems, and it does sound like yours.  Unfortunately, there seems to be
very little common ground.  My system has a VIA Apollo Pro 133T chipset.
The thing that kills my boot is the ASUS X Series V9400 video card.  It is
an NVidia GeForce MX 4000 based card.  Maybe the NVidia connection between
our issues is significant.

Hi,

I've been trying to install FreeBSD 5.3 on a small form factor PC
(Biostar IDEQ) with the Nforce 2 chipset. The problem I've been having
is that the installer freezes up right after it detects the hard drive
and cd drive. I've been toggling BIOS settings for a couple hours now,
and nothing seems to work. Also tried the 5.4 RC2, with the same
results. Has anyone seen something similar and know of a workaround?

Thanks,

Brandon Curiel
