Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Does anyone on there in current land have access to a Compaq machine, preferably model 4710? I have been running current on my a Compaq for a good year, however the last few months kernels I cannot use. I can, and do, use a kernel from July. I am wondering if the problem is just my machine, or if the newer current bits just don't like the Compaq proprietary architecture. If someone could get a relatively new (sometime within the last few months) boot.flp from current, and see if it will boot, I would appreciate it greatly. On boot disks, mine bombs with a page fault right after the kernel configuration screen; after it displays the amount of ram in the box (before detecting any other hardware). Compiling a custom kernel does the same thing. If you can get to the main sysinstall screen from the boot floppy, that is all I will need to know. I don't want to beat myself over the head changing stuff around in my box if that isn't the trouble. Thanks, Jim
