I had a very similar experience with my VAIO PCG-GR250P. My solution was to boot with 4.3-RELEASE, which loaded without problems. However, I was then unable to cvsup to 4-STABLE since the NIC in my VAIO, an Intel Pro 100/VE, wasn't supported until 4.4-RELEASE. The solution was for me was to borrow a cheap SMC 16-bit PCMCIA card which was recognized under 4.3. This allowed me to CVSUP to 4-STABLE and the machine boots okay now. Convulutged, I know, but that's how *I* got it to work. YMMV. Good luck, Sean. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of stepahne B Sent: Wednesday, December 26, 2001 3:25 AM To: freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Can't boot FreeBSD on a Sony VAIO qr10 Hello, I got a VAIO qr10 on which I would like to install FreeBSD. The machine comes without a floppy drive and I can only boot from the CDROM. When booting the 4.4-install CD the machine hard locks just after "ppc0: parallel port not found" I tried to disable all devices in the user config to no avail. When booting with the -v option the last messages are bios geometries isa_probe_children: probing PnP devices 0:03fefe3f 0..1022=1023 cylinders, 0..254=255 heads, 1..63=63 sectors 0 accounted for Device configuration finished. device combination doesnt support shared irq0 intr_connect(irq0) failed, result=-1 bpf: lo0 attached bpf: sl0 attached What am I doing wrong?
