Cannot open /dev/ukbd0 during install

[Gob]

Hi
I am trying to install v2 RC1 on a Dell PowerEdge R210. During the boot process of the Live installer I get "cannot open /dev/ukbd0" and the machine hangs.
This server was previously running v.1.2.3

Have tried swapping keyboards but still no luck.

Any suggestions?

thanks
Gordon

Hi Gob…
My similar problem.
With older config don't appear.
1 config : R310 + 1 dual port intel gigabit + perc h 200 with snapshot of June 14 2011 and destination disk : cruzer blade usb pendrive - this work but onboard broadcom disabled

2 config  : R310 + perc6ir onboard and destination disk : raid1 with perc - tis don't work

My think is “dell Perc 6ir”

The freebsd 8.2 hardware support is very bad !!!
Now try with perc h700...

Gob,,
I have a lot of R210 running Pfsense.
It's happen for me a few times before also setup hang at 38% on some of them
.
It can be bios version, bios setting or even something on the drive.
If you have another R210 give it a try on other hardware and it will probably work.
After that you can move the drive to this machine.
Keep us posted.

Good luck.

Ok, update !
Now my R310 work perfectly with 2.0 RC1 and update to the latest snapshot.

My simple workaround :
Open Bios setting and disable all onboard Nics (and remove any pci ethernet card)
Boot with pfsense cd and install this perfectly.
Shutdown, reactivate any nic and reboot.
All works !
The Issue is caused by ethernet nic configuration.
Please send a feedback !
