Nelson" To: Chris Peltier cc: "'questions@freebsd.org'" Subject: Re: Compaq Deskpro XL 6150 compatability In-Reply-To: <97Jun3.152350edt.6202@netgate.iectech.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I missed the earlier discussion, but here's a WAG. If you _don't_ use the -c option when you boot and disable unnecessary drivers, you are likely to see just this symptom because of a conflict with the bus mouse drivers. I've had this happen a few times. The solution for me was to disable everything in input _except_ the syscons driver. (You don't need a mouse for installation anyway.) As a matter of course, I disable _everything_ that isn't essential to install. -- Jay On Tue, 3 Jun 1997, Chris Peltier wrote: -> ->Does anybody have the Deskpro XL 6150 running ->FreeBSD?
