Where my computer configuration is Intel dual core 1.80 Ghz with 1 GB Ram and HD 160. lan is bit similar but different from eacother all are realtalk 1 is 100 and an other one is 1000. For information when i try to install PFsense from live cd. it seems its ok. but when ever i try to boot from HD. i cant. at first it shows dis message "Default:F1". if i press F1 it start something really very odd things. Some message running out on monitor quickly. even i cant read those message that quickly. its very difficult to understand for me what is excatly problem.

I dont want to lose benifit of Pfsense. please someone help me. I will wait for answer. If farther information need then tell me. i will tell. And by the by if i wrote anything foolish please try to forgive me. this is my first time this furum. take care all of my brows….....

G'day Rashed,
Can you capture any of the output on the screen?
Does pressing the Pause key suspend output long enough to capture something from the screen?
Have you tried installing one of the pfSense 1.2.1 snapshot kits? They are based on FreeBSD 7.0 which will have support for newer hardware than the hardware supported by the official 1.2 release.If you don't press any key the startup should proceed automatically past the Default:F1 stage within a few seconds.
-
if i press F1 it start something really very odd things
Does the output stop at some point, or does the computer restart, what happens after pressing F1 if you just let it continue?
-
for my first bro. yes it start automatically after few seconds when "Default:F1" message shows. but it start like some message or i can say some numbers running on monitor screen. no i cant pushed or do anything unless I shutdown.
for my second bro no it dont restart. it continue running i can see those flash screen message. it only that time stop when i shutdown the pfsense Box. should i install 1.2.1 version and should see what happen? please try to help me bro. i need to know what is exactly is going on. for information as i did install Pfsense on other computer Exactly i did same thing here also. but that time it did works but now no. i will wait for my brows answer. -
There isn't much to work with.
I suggest you upgrade to a recent 1.2.1 snapshot build. If that works then please report that it works. If it doesn't work then see if you can give more details of what is appearing on the screen. If the screen is being continually updated so you can't read the screen then try to get a few photos of the screen with a digital camera. If you can't make out anything sensible in the photos then post one here anyway. If you can make out something sensible (for example, clearly readable text) then post one of the photos here. Depending on what we see we may ask for more photos.
If for some reason you are reluctant to try a 1.2.1 snapshot then please try the suggestions about screen photos.

You might try disabling raid.

You might try disabling raid.
That would be disabling raid in the BIOS?
Would it be necessary to reinstall AFTER raid has been disabled?
-
Yes, and it's possible, but I doubt it.

Disable raid in the bios, then boot off the live cd, then install pfsense, then remove the cd, then reboot, then tell us what happens when you boot.
