Probably because you weren't running -current. Perhaps your problem has been fixed, so no one wants to solve problems that already have been fixed. Try installing a 5-current snapshot from: http://snapshots.jp.freebsd.org/ you'll see boot images as small as 3MB for current. Then try sending a message to -current with the details. output of boot -v can be helpful to show exaclty where the problem is. The dmesg from your 4.x could help too. Though the best way may be to put those up on a webpage and point people to them. Also you haven't described your problem very clearly. If you just want to know how to disable eisa, ask that. If you can't boot, detail what happens. If you boot but get other errors, tell what those are. "It didn't seem to work" doesn't give anyone anything to go on. That frustrates those trying to help you so most people just dont try Tim > Lucas > > > You should either stay on 4.x and live without ACPI, or upgrade to > > -current and live with all that goes with that.
