hi all, as i am relatively new to freeBSD some problems arose when installing fbsd on two machines. i hope i am on the correct list to get some info. one of my machines is a laptop with where i get "ed1 device time out" errors; so i read: http://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/4-STABLE/installation/i386/trouble.html#Q4.3.4. and found: "....or ? in your kernel config file. This will tell the kernel to use the soft configuration" therefore i edited my kernel-config file to this: device ed0 at isa? port 0x280 irq ? iomem 0xd8000 my questions here: do i have to write ed1 here? is the question-mark on the right place? how are the conventions to get iomem right (because it is not written like this when i see it in bios)? is the timeout-problem the problem of the network-card or the pcmcia chipset? could somebody write an example config-file snippet in the troubleshooting-section? (i think this would double the value of the text for newbies like me) anyway: the network on the machine works - i just get this nasty errors. should i even care? my second machine is used as a router/gateway/firewall during boot-process i get: ppc0: cannot reserve I/O port range and when i shut the machine down it says: stray irq 7 as this is the printer-port in bios and is "hard-wired" i can not imagine it straying. sould i care about this? should i comment the ppc0 out in kernel-config or should i just give th irq in kernel-config to prevent straying? another problem i have got with kde; sometimes it starts - sometimes it won't start because of something like "cannot read networklist in .DCOMP.....; error setting up inter-prozess-communication" (i am always in the same intranet with pre-setted ips - no DHCP); as it often doesn't work with one user - it will when i log in as another user. as i can not reproduce the error it seems mysterious to me (sometimes i can start kde more then one time - like it should be - sometimes it won't even start once, but then when i login as root it might work again...) mysterious! .... any ideas? thx in advance peter "wolki" wolkerstorfer p.s.: are there any plans to enhance the site-search-hit-list usability on the fbsd-web-site? the search-results are of no information-scent for most users i think and it would be a great leap in usability to give some ideas what the hits are about. p.p.s.: happy 2002!
