I'm trying to bring up -current on my new IBM ThinkPad T40. Once I specified hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range, the snapshot CD booted up cleanly. The current problem: Sysinstall claims the disk layout as provided by BIOS is bogus (it's something like 100000/32/32). It provides its own, newfs works clean, but writes fail on the 1st package read from CD. I tried another alternative layout (the drive is a IBM/Hitachi Travelstar 80GN) but get the same result. As an experiment, I booted from a 4.8 CD, and it just accepted the provided layout and installed without any problems. Thanks in advance, Jeff Katcher __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo! Mail AddressGuard http://antispam.yahoo.com/whatsnewfree
