I've tried slimming the kernel down without PC card, ethernet and just 1 IDE channel without joy - kernel reports a page fault whilst probing, last reported device is the VGA adapter. I've been looking through the hardware compatibility list and FAQs but haven't found anything to suggest that SiS chipsets are difficult. Any tips or ideas greatly appreciated. TIA C. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
