I vaguely remember a similar problem to this. I also used the upgrade procedure to install new kernel sources. There are two problems with this:- (1) The matcd driver has been moved around a bit and the filenames are not all the same. This means that after upgrading you still have some of the old files lying around. This seems to stuff things up. If you clean /sys and then untar the sources you should get around this problem. If this doesn't help..... (2) The config options for matcd have changed... It is now declared as controller matcd0 at isa? port 0x230 bio If you are trying to reuse your 2.0.5 config file then this could also be a problem. : I installed src/ssys.* by hand like I've always done it: : cat ssys.* | (cd /sys ; tar xzf - ) : ( /sys is a symlink to /usr/src/sys ) : > > : > > Something strange indeed.

The problem with old files lying around is also an issue in /usr/lib. There seem to be a number of old versions of the shared libs hanging around but I haven't had the energy to go and clean them out yet. Guess they don't hurt but my /usr is now over 100% full so it is probably worth reclaming the disk space. /mark -- +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+ | Mark Hannon,| FreeBSD - Free Unix for your PC| mark@seeware.DIALix.oz.au| | Melbourne, | PGP key available by fingering | epamha@epa.ericsson.se | | Australia | seeware@melbourne.DIALix.oz.au | | +-=-=-=-=-=-=-+-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+
