I have a CTX EzBook 800 series on which I have used FreeBSD version 2.2.6 since that version was current. At the time I had to use some of the PAO stuff to get the pcmcia enet to work, but everything else seemed to work fine. I just bought a new disk, and figured i'd install 4.2. The ata driver does not seem to live happily with the disk controller, however. and even the floppy driver seems to be having a problem (fdc0: cannot reserve I/O port range). The ata driver says: atapci0: <Generic PCI ATA controller> port 0xfcf0-0xfcff,0x374-0x377,0x170-0x177 ,0x2f4-0x3f7,0x1f0-0x1f7 at device 18.1 on pci0 atapci0: Busmastering DMA not supported ata2: at 0x1f0 on atapci0 ata2: unable to allocate interrupt device_probe_and_attach: ata2 attach returned 6 ata3: at 0x170 on atapci0 ata3: unable to allocate interrupt device_probe_and_attach: ata3 attach returned 6 later on, when the sysinstall menu comes up and i try to allocate disk space it naturally tells me that there are no disks. the old kernel wd driver used to say: wdc0: at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa wd0: 3102MB 96354432 sectors), 6304 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/t, 512 B/s wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa wdc1: unit 0 (atapi): <TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-1602B/1150>, removable, accel, dma, ior . .. I have tried enabling and disabling PNP in the bios, and using auto/user config for the disks. all combinations seem to yield the same results - it cant init the disk controllers. I have another FreeBSD system that I use as a workstation. I used it to build a kernel for the boot flop that would stop in the fd driver ( while(1) i++; makes an effective stopper) so that I could see the ata driver messages. If anybody has any fixes or suggestions, I could implement them and test them without any problem. any and all help is appreciated. I really would like to use 4.2 rather than going back to the old 2.2.6! thanks, ron. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
