Message-ID: Approved: yep X-representing: Only myself. X-badge: We don't need no stinking badges. X-obligatory-profanity: Fuck X-moo: Moo. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I have a Dell Latitude CPx H500 with a slight problem. The machine boots fine off the 3.4-R CD, but the kernel doesn't find it during probe, and of course this presents problems for sysinstall. I'd install off the network, but the xe0 driver isn't in the generic kernel, and I can't move to 4.0-* since xe0 is currently broken. Anyone have this model of laptop and been able to get FreeBSD to recognize the CDROM drive? My old Latitude CPi R400 worked fine, and from what I can tell, this machine is almost identical excepting processor, video, and sound. 4.0-R seems to find the CDROM drive okay. Any ideas?
