Hi,

You can try a livefs cd of FreeBSd before trying to install.

FreeBSD 7.2:
Code:
http://pub.allbsd.org/FreeBSD-snapshots/i386/7.2-RELENG_7_2-20090501-JPSNAP/cdrom/7.2-RELENG_7_2-20090501-JPSNAP-i386-livefs.iso
FreeBSD 8-Current:
Code:
http://pub.allbsd.org/FreeBSD-snapshots/i386/8.0-HEAD-20090501-JPSNAP/cdrom/8.0-HEAD-20090501-JPSNAP-i386-livefs.iso
I see in the spec of your computer some hardware who does not working:
The wifi card (i know daniel working on it)
The camera
Tv tuner

Anyway, i have dv-7 serie and freebsd works very well !

Hi,

Strange because the kernel is loaded into memory at this time, no cdrom needed for detecting hardware, i think !!

No hardware is detected?

Nicolas.
