You are in a hole caused by very poor management of FBSD change control. At 4.0 a change was allowed in to stop a conflict between isa and pci internal modem hardware probing. This change for all purposes closed the door for pci internal modems. There used to be the pnp, setserial, and pnpinfo commands which allowed you to hack around the isa prob results to get a pci internal modem to work. Now all that is deactivated and pci modems users are left out in the cold. Maybe if enough people write problem reports this will get fixed. One would think that 2 years would have been enough time to get this fixed since 4.0 came out. If your modem is a isa modem then you should be able to get it working following the FAQ at this url. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/troubleshoot.html#PNP-N OT-FOUND -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Robin Hall Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2001 7:46 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: device not configured Ok I moved the jumpers on my modem to com 2 or cuaa1 or sio1 whichever it is. Now when I boot up to install freeBSD 4.4 stable it gets to the point of detecting hardware and just stays there. Does BSD not like modems? How am I supposed to install this so that I can use it as a router with a dialup connection? Why would it freeze on detecting hardware if I have the modem set to cuaa1? When I was getting it installed it wouldn't install kde or any windowmanager. I did get it to startx with just the bare bones x. I have 24 MB of Ram is this enough to use a window manager? Robin E.
