Haven't had much luck. I downloaded the latest (10/9 snapshot) boot floppies and started up the install with those. I get so far as: pci0: (vendor=0x8086, dev=0x2445) at 31.5 irq 5 and it locks hard. I've attempted the suggestion for the PCIC settings in the release notes (hw.pcic.intr_path="1", and hw.pcic.irq="0"), but no luck. I also tried another suggestion somewhere on the lists about setting machdep.pccard.mem_start="0xd0000" and had the same results. I've tried this setup with and without a BEN0012-TF generi-ethernet card in the top slot, but it doesn't make a difference. Anyone else out there doing a new install of 4.4 (RELEASE or SNAP-10-9) on an Inspiron 2500 that may know something I don't? Thanks for any help!
