IBM Series 325 - *Unable to run!*
From the user:
I haven't heard of anyone being able to get FreeBSD 4.8 working
on a IBM series 325, tried it myself on one here and always
comes up with the "Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI cards to idle" or
similar message. Tried many options, plus BIOS checks, found someone similar
had the same problem but had bsd running fine on another six boxes.

IBM Workstatnions Configurations
IBM ThinkPad T21
CPU: PIII Mobile 800MHz; 384MB RAM; 40GB hard drive (partition and
dual-booted); DVD-ROM; 14" XGA display.
From the user:
Running 4.8-RELEASE and was running 5.1-RC1 but it wasn't 100% stable.
Under 4.8-R, I was able to get XFree86 4.3.0 up and running at the
best resolution that the display can handle (1024x768). The Crystal
Semiconductor sound controller in the laptop worked great after
including the cs driver (IIRC). The laptop I have has an
Intel/Xircom MiniPCI card that provides 10/100 Ethernet (fxp driver)
and a "WinModem" which I haven't even cared to try out. CardBus
controller works under 5.x but it couldn't detect the IBM FireWire
CardBus card I had in one of the slots.
For the heck of it, I installed 5.1-R over 4.8-R on the laptop and
it looks like it is detecting the FireWire CardBus card properly and
even detected my external DVD-RW drive :) No more having to run to
another machine to burn a CD/DVD anymore ;).
