No one will be able to help you without more information from you. Generally you can resolve the kernel conflicts by deleting the conflicting devices. If you are using only pci card stuff, you will not need those other devices. But, again, you have not given enough information to tell what you have and what problem[s] you are having. There are some translations of the documentation in to other languages. You might want to check on those and then get more specific about what problem you are having. ////jerry > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > >
