Hi,
When I try to boot an old i486DX rig off of the BeOS 5 PE boot floppy, It says "Be Boot Loader......" and then freezes. I had the same problem when trying to boot my home-made x86 OS from a floppy, but FreeSCO and DOS 6.22 booted and installed perfectly with the same meathod. Any insights?
Thanks in advance,
St8ic

Yep!
I might be wrong but I think a 486 isn't a full pentium and won't run beos.

Yeah, Jefro is right, BeOS PE 5 needs P5 architercture. I ran this on P75 MHz, 16 MB RAM and it worked.

Have an A7V8X-X + athlon xp 2400 and the system hangs (only on cold boot) after the "pnp init completed" post of the motherboard allowing me only to enter the BIOS (after this it reeebots fine). I solve the problem by changing the bios setting : memory speed from auto to 266 mhz (witch was the real speed of my memory)

I also am using the A7V8X-X with a 2400+ Althlon and it freezing at the pnp init completed section. Changing the memory speed did not help me. I did read that turning off quick power on self test would correct this and IT DID. However I just upgraded the BIOS to version 1006 and it SEEMS to have corrected the problem even with Quick POST back ON.
