But I have not been able to boot up any 4.x kernel--it always hangs up when probing the ISA bus. The kernel on the 4.5 boot floppies, if I boot up in verbbose mode, it hangs right after printing the message "ex_isa_identify()". Has this happened to anyone else? What else can I try to help diagnose the problem? The only funny hardware in my system is a Boca 6-port serial board; the other boards are an NE2000 clone, NCR PCI SCSI controller, generic PCI VGA card, and 3com 3C509 PCI ethernet card. -- George Mitchell (george@m5p.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
