Any suggestions on how to debug what FreeBSD is finding? 1. Check the line in your kernel config; make sure it does line up. 2. IRQ 5 must not be used by another device. Make sure it is free. 3. Some video adapters stomp on the upper comports. Try changing the base address. 4. Make sure you are using the kernel you just built. I've done this on many occaisions. :-) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
