I think I sent you this already, but if I didn't take a look at http://home.san.rr.com/freebsd/make-upgrade.html. Just for the record, the procedures listed on the above website work. I followed them this weekend and successfully updated my 2.2.8-RELEASE to 3.2-STABLE. It takes a bit of time (three make world builds, basically), but it works. HOWEVER, I'm still asking for some help. It seems that even with the upgrade to 3.2-STABLE, I'm still running into the same problem I had when I tried installing the 3.2-RELEASE (I thought the problem would be fixed in -STABLE). The problem is that the hardware probe does not detect my primary IDE controller, wdc0 (most of the time). I did find a workaround, which entails going into my BIOS setup, setting the "auto-detect" option on the harddrive settings and saving the new settings. Note that this works only one time. Each time I reboot, I have to go back into my BIOS setup and save the settings (even without changing anything). This is a little annoying to do each time I boot up. Now, I realize that IDE drives may not be the first choice for this type of OS (it seems, looking at the e-mail traffic, that SCSI is the way to go), but that's all I've got. As I mentioned, I thought the problem was resolved in -STABLE, but I guess not. I'll submit a bug report. But in the meantime, I'd appreciate any ideas on why the new bootstrap would not detect my primary IDE controller, while 2.2.8 worked just fine. FYI I've got a Pentium MMX cpu with Intel 430TX chipset, Award BIOS version 4.51 PGM, PnP BIOS 1.0A on an AOpen AP5TC RC1.10 motherboard. Both harddrives are on my primary controller (1.27 GB Samsung as master, 6.54 GB Seagate as slave) and my ATAPI CD-ROM drive is master on the secondary controller. By the way, the probe always detects my secondary controller (wdc1) just fine. I'd prefer not to mess with the physical configuration of the machine (i.e. move drives to different controllers, etc). I've got 4 OSs on the machine and I rather not mess up their drive configurations. And I do appreciate the tips I've received so far. Andrew J.
