Nothing will respond. I can't even I had this problem as well with a system with all PnP, non-generic hardware. Needless to say, I was ticked off about it. I had an ASUS K7V motherboard that certain slots shared irq's. I had to rearrange my cards around some until I found something that worked. I ended up putting my soundcard in a slot that shared an irq with my GeForce video card. The card was originally in a slot that shared with USB. I'm assuming that it was probing an IRQ, two devices answered, and made it lock. Also, try turning off the "Plug n Play OS" in your BIOS. Before I turned this off, the kernel would see all the devices, and print a message, but would be unable to assign them addresses. Hope this helps... -dan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
