cd and dvd not load before sysinstall

Hi

I am using arch linux 3 years. I decided to try FreeBSD. And I dowloaded and burned amd64 cd and dvd.

When I choose default, acpi disabled and safe mode options, both dvd and bootonly cd bot boot.

And then I dowloaded and burned i386 dvd. Again dvd not boot. When I choose acpi disabled and safe mode option, this message appears:
Code:
Fatal double fault:
eip = 0x94af
esp = 0x0
ebp = 0x4a1
cpuid = 0 ; aoic id = 00
panic : double fault
cpuid = 0
uptime = 1s
What can I do?
 
How did you burn these CDs / DVDs? Did you burn them as bootable CD/DVDs, or did you just burn the ISO file to disk (making it a data disk, not a boot disk)?
 
I did md5sum control. I know how to burn iso images. No problem. Ä°t is bootable. I tried to another computer. Cd and dvd are running.
 
Maybe you discovered a bug, most probably in BTX (eip). Or, maybe you have a faulty RAM, causing GDT corruption, causing interrupts to fail, causing the double fault.

Is Linux (or anything else) working fine all day long? Could you run memtest86+ for a few hours?
 
How long did you run memtest86+? How many passes? Sometimes errors take 15-20 hours or even more to appear.
And you haven't answered my question about Linux. Is it running fine an entire day?

Alternatively you could try an older or newer version of FreeBSD.

You may also check the mailing lists for a similar problem, and file a problem/bug report.
 
By the way, I tried to download PC-BSD 7.1.1 64bit. Again I saw same message.

This night I will try memtest again. And I will write result tommorrow morning.
 
Have you tried an older (6.x) or newer (7.2, 8.0-RC) version of FreeBSD?

The time it takes for memtest86+ to run x tests/passes depends of course on your system, but you should at the very least complete 10 passes successfully. More is better.
 
I tried FreeBSD 8.0 RC1 amd64 bootonly cd. Same error.

Default option's result:


ACPI disabled option's result:



i386 or amd64. anything change.
 
Hi

I did memtest 15 hours. 19 passes. No error. I tried different RAM. Anything changed

I tried installation with memstick. Same error.

FreeBSD does not like me. :D

What should I do?
 
Try RC2, just in case.

If it still doesn't work, report the problem, including all the details you posted here and your exact system specs.

Hi again.

I tried FreeBSD 6.4 amd64 bootonly cd. And it works. :)

Now, if I install 6.4, then can I upgrade all system to 7.2 or 8.0?
 
Have you tried the i386 v8 latest?
There is even a site somewhere that I think has
*daily* builds of it to download... maybe even
with software already installed... I have it
written down, but it would take *very* long to
find. Less time to search...
