Of course, YMMV depending on your > hardware... Well it also says # CURRENT STATUS OF CODE: NOT WORKING. I tried it nevertheless, but it hangs. I have taken out everything that isn't absolutely necessary, it even detects the 3com 575BT, if I insert it before switching on, but then it hangs after saying "trying /sbin/init". last time I even got some output about "give shell" (this appeared after I pressed ctrl-alt-del), then could do an 'ls', but then it hung again. Is there probably anything known special about thinkpads (600) again? I attached my minimal config. No difference to GENERIC apart from cardbus. How can I btw. save the boot messages? martin > Martin Dieringer wrote: > > > > On Sun, 18 Mar 2001, Dima Dorfman wrote: > > > > > Sean Chittenden <sean-freebsd-mobile@chittenden.org> writes: > > > > If not, any recommendations on an OS that does have cardbus > > > > controller support?
