Installation problems with Compaq Armada 1750

What version of RedHat are you using? 6.0 and later support both Mach32 and
64 cards. The standby when you get this sort of problem is to use SVGA16
Xserver which is quite a handy server. To get to it you need to use
XF86Setup and from the list of servers choose SVGA16 as the server to use.
You may need to install it first. In fact you probably do not have the
Mach64 server installed in the first place so you might install that too!

1. FreeBSD 5.0 boot problems on Compaq Armada 1750

Hi there.

I'm trying to get FreeBSD 5.0 to run on my older Compaq Armada 1750 laptop,
but it refuses to boot. When I boot and it gets to mounting the root image,
it freezes up. It boots fine with FreeBSD 4.3, but It dosen't support the
PCMCIA controller located in the machine, thus no network is awailable on
that version.

Slackware Linux 8.0 works fine, but I'd rather use FreeBSD because of the
stability, and certain security issues(And the posibility to make a minimal
installation and add/compile everything yourself, without having to use
LFS).

Also, I have an old Digital ventures 5133 I've tried to install FreeBSD 5.0,
but it can't use the diskcontroller, it refuses to do so. Linux(Redhat 6.2)
also works quite fine on this machine.

Does anyone have a clue to what I could do to get FreeBSD on my machine, or
am I stuck on Windows/Linux on this hardware?

I didn't think that FreeBSD would be so picky about hardware, but I guess it
is :-(

Regards,
Peter
