I tried to install FBSD 5.2.1 on Toshiba Satellite A15-S127 (Mobile Intel
Celeron Id=0xf27 Stepping = 7 2GHz/256M/30G CDRW, USB floppy.
During boot from installation floppy kernel hungs just after:
pcibios: BIOS version 2.10
Using $PIR table, 6 entries at 0xc00f01a0
pcib0: <Host to PCI bridge> at pcibus 0 on motherboard
pci0: <PCI bus> on pcib0
pci_cfgintr: 0:2 INTA BIOS irq 10
Also, I tried to use 5.2.1-RELEASE-miniinst.iso and booted it with ACPI
disabled mode. Result was the same.
There are not to many parameters which I can change in Toshiba BIOS
"Device configuration" menu and, I hope, I tried them all without success.
It might be, I missed something. What BIOS parameters are most important
in this case.
I did try to setup 4.10 without any problem.
What can I try else? May be I need to build some castom kernel? What
changes to GENERIC configuration could help? Or I need to try to do some
changes in kernel source?
Any clue please,
Mikhail.
