There is a BIOS update (dated 08/26/97) at http://ftp.iwill.com.tw/p55xb2dl.htm . However, I don't know if it can solve the problem. --Jason ------------------------------------- During the bootup probe (and from 'dmesg'), I get: sio0 not found at 0x3f8 sio1 not found at 0x2f8 and no serial port activity works, e.g. tip hw (with /dev/cuaa0). The BIOS shows this hardware to be present at the appropriate addresses and IRQs (both at BIOS config and during startup). But Freebsd 2.2.2 cannot successfully probe it. I have a recently-purchased Iwill P55XB2 motherboard with Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG. All extraneous cards have been pulled and the ports work perfectly under MS-DOS 6.22. There are no internal serial-like cards (i.e. a modem). Anyone have any ideas? Steve ------------------------------- -- --------------------- Jason Liao <jasonl@xinetron.com> ---------------------
