With the kernel -v it goes to isa something pnp something I believe, sorry, that's the best I can do unfortunately. I know a transcript would be handy, but it's a live server unfortunately, and it is once again running 4.1, as 4.1.1 and 4.2 are where the errors were. > Note that the PnP probe message actually preceeds a > pile of other things > which can also fail; don't make the assumption that > just because it's > said "PnP" that that's what's going on. 8) Yeah, well I figured the -v would be as specific as I could get it, which is why I posted to the list. =) It is for sure one of the messages that only comes out when verbose is on, unfortunately I'm away from an actual FreeBSD machine or I would re-boot mine with -v to give you the actual message, but it's christmas time and I'm on a *gah* Windows ME machine. > There are no known problems with PnP in 4.2, so > there's nothing that's > going to be fixed unless we can characterise your > problem here. If you can't turn PnP totally off, then there's a problem. =) I know the problem is somewhere since in 4.1 the system works without a hitch, and 4.1.1 kills it, as did 4.2, but you could be right that it isn't PnP, but how can I find out what it is? I can always pop in a 4.1.1 cd(with alot of talking into it) and try. I've already done the 'disable all devices that you don't need', and the 'disable all devices except the monitor and keyboard and npx' bit too. Gotta go, talk with you later. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Shopping - Thousands of Stores.
