Ok unhappy CTX laptop update, so far ive had 1 response, with thoughts of irqs, been there done that..... forget about the cdrom not working, i need connectivity more then a cd...... suggestions anyone shall i set it on fire, throw it out the window of a tall building, run it over..... let the dog use it for a chew toy ??? I just SURRENDER, Ive finally been beaten by a piece of hardware, a Netgear FA410TX pcmcia card that just refuses to work on this laptop, but works fine in another under freebsd, taking any and all suggestions on how to either debug this puppy further, or what....??? if i could just get this card running, it worked in another ctx with no problem, but i couldnt get X or the mouse to work there but the cdrom and the pccard worked, now i have X and the mouse working here, but alas, no cdrom or network card as for the suggestions, ill forgo the cdrom not working no big loss there, but ive got to have connectivity, with more then the modem..... ---------------SNIP-------------------------------- > well, PAO is not necessarly a requirement, see for example the > /usr/src/sys/i386/config/PCCARD kernel in 2.2.8 (maybe 2.2.7) and > beyond > Ive tried it PCCARD with modified defaults and nothing, PAO patches gets me closest anand is what i used on the other laptop and ive disabled everything in the kernel, except paralell, serial and required stuff, even cdrom and scsi devices were removed nada...... doesnt even see the card PAO sees the card at least, even the default kernel sees the card as a zp0 > > "/kernel: ed0: device timeout" > > > > (3) is the IRQ for the ed0 device actually free?
