First FreeNAS Install Fail...

[dms69]

I'm attempting my first install of FreeNAS on an HP Desktop I have available, but I am running into an error on bootup that I cannot figure out..

I have a attached a screen shot of the error and where it gets hung, so any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

Here's some hardware info:
HP-Pavillion P7-1254
MB: Pegatron

Chipset: AMD Hudson-D2 FCH
Processor: AMD A6

Thanks for the link. I guess my only option is to buy a new motherboard?? More than I wanted to spend on setting up what I thought would be a free NAS...lol

FreeNAS (the operating system) is free, but hardware will always costs something, if it is worth using.

Please don't use this system for FreeNAS... it simply isn't up to the task. It's only got 8GB to start, but loses quite a bit of that to shared graphics memory, so you're already below the minimum RAM requirement. It's a very dated and poorly supported processor. And the chassis doesn't have the space nor the power supply to handle more than 2 or 3 drives.
