notme:
 |    I have just used the "dmesg | grep irq" command, and I can not see
 |anything that looks like IRQ 15 except for this:
 |
 |vga0 <VGA-compatible display device> rev 20 int a irq 11 on pci0:15
 |
 |I am not really sure about what the 15 at the end means, so I just copied

I don't think that's a problem.

 |it down onto this e-mail...  I have also tried the "dmesg | grep 0x"
 |command, and I couldn't find anything that is within the range of
 |0x170-0x17F.  I also went into Windows 95, and did a properties on

Sounds good.

 |...secondary IDE controller...properties of the IDE controller...:
 |Input/Output range  0170-0177
 |Input/Output range 0376-0376
 |Interrupt Request    15
 |Input/Output range  FFA8-FFAF

Interesting.  To my untrained eye, this looks fine.

 |Could it be because the Range suppose to be 0170 -0177 instead of
 |0170 -017F?  If so, how do you change that?  (I can't find a way of
 |changing the second value, "017F")

No, I'm sorry.  I quoted the range wrong.  It's 170-177.  In fact, here are
the pertinent dmesg lines from my working configuration:

     wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 flags 0xa0ffa004 on isa
     wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 flags 0xa0ffa004 on isa
     wdc2 at 0x1e8-0x1ef irq 11 flags 0xa0ffa004 on isa

 |Anyway, I have to thank you for helping me so much!

No problem.  I didn't help but we tried anyway.

One last parting thought: I assume you're still running the GENERIC kernel?
If you are, verify these lines are in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC for
the FreeBSD version you're running (you'll need to install the SSYS
distribution if you haven't).  If you're not, verify they're in the kernel
config file you used to build your kernel:

controller      wdc0    at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 vector wdintr
disk            wd0     at wdc0 drive 0
disk            wd1     at wdc0 drive 1

controller      wdc1    at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 vector wdintr
disk            wd2     at wdc1 drive 0
disk            wd3     at wdc1 drive 1

options         ATAPI           #Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus
options         ATAPI_STATIC    #Don't do it as an LKM
device          wcd0    #IDE CD-ROM

Sorry I couldn't help, and good luck.

Randall
