X-BeenThere: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Mobile computing with FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2012 22:55:04 -0000 Hi Warner (*) & FreeBSD mobile@ I'm trying to upgrade my Toshiba libretto from 4.11 to 8.2-RELEASE. The 8.2 Generic kernel with 4.11 tree of binaries boots OK (with device.hints, see URL above) & runs X11 OK; But the ed0 pcmcia card that 4.11 uses for ethernet, is not seen. All my configs & dmesg etc here: http://berklix.com/~jhs/hardware/toshiba/libretto/ I guess I need some magic for pcmcia ? (*) I had a note from Warner about 5.2.1 & YE-Data pcmcia cards (for floppy). PPS I could do a make world, But: That'd probably not get a working ethernet over pcmcia without same extra config magic, & killing my ethernet I'm trying to avoid as floppy drive & cdrom drive are both via a Single pcmcia slot. Beyond that its PLIP or SLIP - none are easy. I also failed to create an fdisk MBR with 2 boot partitions when I installed 4.11, just 1 big partition, hence I'm trying to establish if ethernet will work before running a make world. If it will work I'll backup & remove disk to another machine, & edit the MBR to allow more bootable FreeBSD slices. Ideas & tips & URLs welcome please, Thanks Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Unix Linux C Sys Eng Consultants Munich http://berklix.com Reply below not above, cumulative like a play script, & indent with "> ".
