We're having some trouble with keyboard detection on versions later than 4.0. Version 4.0 detected the keyboard and the probing finished: atkbdc0: at port 0x60-0x6f on isa0 atkbd0: irq 1 on atkbdc0 Using version 4.4 or 4.5 (cdroms), the installation seemed to hang when it started probing hardware. After doing some digging (man boot), I found that if the keyboard is not detected, the output is sent to the serial port instead of the internal display which is why it appeared to hang. In checking the mail archives, I found there was a change to the way the keyboard was probed between 4.0 and 4.1. The atbkd driver flag FAIL_IF_NO_KBD (0x1) was added along with other changes for USB support. Changing this flag in the hardware configuration didn't seem to help (0x0, 0x2, 0x3). We also tried some different booting options: boot -P, boot -D and boot -h. A few combinations of boot options and keyboard flags were tried also. Any suggestions for a combination to try would be appreciated. The Plug and Play option was set to off during all the testing. It doesn't seem to be an issue with the keyboard itself since two keyboards were tried. There are no problems with keyboard detection on his windows or Corel Linux installations. This box is a Gateway PII 450 using an Advaced Logic Reseach motherboard and Phoenix bios 4.0 Release 6. An installation of 4.0 could probably be accomplished but it would be better if a later version could be used. Of course, upgrading from 4.0 would pose a problem also. Any insight, direction or suggestions would be appreciated. I'm not sure what to suggest to him to try at this point. I've put the hand-transcribed probe results from 4.0 at the end for reference. Its understood that there may be other hardware issues after installation. Thanks, Randy 4.0 probing (hand-transcribed): ============================================================ avail memory = 254345216 (248384K bytes) Preloaded elf kernel "kernel" at 0xc05e7000 Pentium Pro MTRR support enabled md1: Malloc disk npx0: on motherboard npx0: INT 16 interface pcib0: on motherboard pci0: on pcib0 pcib1: at device 1.0 on pci0 pci1: on pcib1 pci1: at 0.0 irq9 isab0: at device 7.0 on pci0 isa0: on isab0 atapci0: port 0x1060-0x106f at device 7.1 on pci0 ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0 ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0 pci0: at 7.2 irq 11 chip1: port 0x7000-0x700f at device 7.3 on pci0 pci0: (vendor=0x1274, dev=0x1371) at 12.0 irq 9 [sound] pci0: (vendor=0x1407, dev=0x8000) at 15.0 irq 10 [parallel] pci0: (vendor=0x151f, dev=0x0000) at 16.0 irq 11 [modem] fdc0: at port 0x3f0-0x3f5,0x3f7 1rq 6 drq 2 on isa0 fdc0: FIFO enabled, 8 bytes theshold fd0: <1440-KB 3.5 drive> on fdc0 drive 0 atkbdc0: at port 0x60-0x6f on isa0 atkbd0: irq 1 on atkbdc0 psm0: irq 12 on atkbdc0 psm0: model Intellimouse, device ID 3 vga0: at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa0000-0xbffff on isa0 sc0: on isa0 sc0: VGA <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x200> sio0 at port 0x3f8-0c3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa0 sio0: type 16550A ppc0: at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0 ppc0: Generic chipset (EPP/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode ppi0: on ppbus0 lpt0: on ppbus0 lpt0: Interrupt-driven port plip0: on ppbus0 unknown0: at port 0x100-0x107 irq 3 on isa0 ad0: 57241MB [116301/16/63] at ata0-master using UDMA33 acd0: CD-RW <4X4X32> at ata1-master using PIO4 acd1: DVD-ROM at slave using PIO4 Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0c To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
