>Release:        FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT i386
>Organization:
Red Hat Software
>Environment:

Gericom 3xC notebook:
Mobile Celeron 400 CPU
Intel 440BX/ZX Host/PCI bridge
PIIX4 IDE+USB interface
ATI Mach64 VGA Chipset
ESS Maestro 2E soundchip
some i82365 compatible PCMCIA controller from Texas Instruments
128 MB SDRAM
normal floppy drive
IDE harddisk+DVD-ROM
SystemSoft MobilePRO BIOS 1.01 (R1.12)

>Description:

FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT 19991012 and FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE 19991012 both fail to
boot on this machine.
The kernel hangs at installation before entering the config editor, right
after printing
Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz

The same CD works well on a K6-450 and a Dual PIII-450. Aside from the
Mobile Celeron CPU and maybe the odd BIOS, there's nothing unusual in this box.

>How-To-Repeat:

Install on a notebook with a Mobile Celeron CPU and SystemSoft MobilePRO BIOS

>Fix:

no fix known at this time
