I still have problems with 8.0-CURRENT on my testing machine.
A year ago I couldn't install it at all. Now I can but only using 8.0-BETA2 option starting sysinstall from within 6.4 CD. Using 7.x series CDs prevents sysinstall from running (segmentation fault). Starting sysinstall from either 8.0-BETA CD or HDD installation causes total "panic" (things are getting worse).
Anyway after min ftp install of 8.0-BETA2 I cannot then run csup and/or portsnap, cannot ping any host and probably simply have no internet connection.
Please note that everything works fine if 6.4 or 7.2 is installed on this machine.
So I assume that my hardware is somehow incompatible with exactly 8-CURRENT that's why I'm posting this here.
There are 3 lines at the end of boot screen I've never seen before:
dmesg output:
I tried to load if_de_load="YES" just in case, it's already loaded as well as sis.ko.
ifconfig output:
My machine: ASUS P4S333c (SiS-645/961 chipset), P4 2.4GHz, DDR 768MB, GeForce3 Ti200, 2 HDDx, FDD, usb2.0 card. It connected through cable modem (ARRIS-TM502G), Belkin router with N-wireless. This box is connected by cable.
On the same machine I have PCBSD, Debian, Suse, Ubuntu, Elive and Mandriva. All run problem free.
I used to report my first failure to install to mailing list and subscribed to it. Then I never received a confirmation or whatever. Now I tried to subscribe again and again I have no any respond.
Could somebody from development team help me?
