Just thought I share this.
I had same problem with this laptop about a week ago trying to
install 4.3-RELEASE. Going via boot -c route and disabling pccard
controllers plus everything not required to boot and install off
the CD has helped. I installed sources and everything. After throwing
away support for devices and stuff I didn't need and playing a bit
with IRQs and memory mappings I got it to boot w/o hangs.
However it seems that Xircom RealPath CardBus Ethernet 10/100 +
Modem 56 shipped with the laptop is not supported by the original
pccard code. All I could get from pccardd both with -RELEASE and
-STABLE was "No card in database for "(null)"("(null)")". This was
after all the juggling with memory mapping and /etc/pccard.conf
settings.
So, I just stopped trying and installed a 20010629 -CURRENT snapshot
from http://current.jp.freebsd.org/ (Thanks, guys!). After recompiling
the kernel based on a NEWCARD kernel profile, Xircom card is being
detected during the boot and works just fine at 100Mbit/full-duplex
(device dc). Add device xl into the equation for a 3Com adapter
built into the laptop dock station.
Let me know if you need relevant pieces of laptop's -CURRENT kernel
config.
