hi, this board (WRAP) has no keyboard, and there is a fix in boot1.S to take into account such case, but i can't compile a -current a kernel without kbd (4.x is ok without kbd*), i solved the problem with a quick hack, just to see if im on the correct track, and a return with a return ENXIO in atkbd_probe_unit got me going. so, Q1: is it possible to compile a 5.3 kernel without kbd, or, Q2: how can i tell the kernel that this board has not keyboard controller? btw, the SC11000 says it has atkbdc_probe_unit(): atkbdc0: <Keyboard controller (i8042)> at port 0x64,0x60 on isa0 but will hang in atkbd_probe_unit(). back in the days of the PDP11, Unix V6 would panic on boot if some harware was non-existant/miss-configured, Berkeley fixed this with autoconf, which was just brilliant. Now we have 'fantom' hardware which is, but is not realy there, making things a bit more complicated :-) btw, this board doesn't have a vga either, and only after i removed it from the kernel config did i begin to see some output on the serial line. danny
