List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 02 Dec 2004 08:24:36 -0000 Greeting- The silly web form kept rejecting this, so here is an email. FreeBSD 5.3 fails to see the PCMCIA controller on the following laptops: Compaq LTE 5100 Compaq LTE 5200 Compaq Armada 1130 AMS Roadpro Toshiba Libretto 100 Toshiba Libretto 50 Nec Versa 2000 Systems have ram from 24-64Mb and disk from 500M-20G. None of the systems show PCMCIA controllers when booted from the install floppy set. One system was installed by doing the install on another system and moving the disk over. That resulted in a full minimal install with no PCMCIA card being recognized by the default kernel. Attempting to load the pcmcia modules resulted in a message that they were already in the kernel. Starting pccardd resulted in the following message: fatal error: no PC-CARD slots You can repeat this by doing a 5.3 install onto an older laptop with only 16Bit PCMCIA card slots. You can also gain access to my system by email request. I can make a slip or plip connection to get it on the net for you. -Brett wynkoop@wynn.com
