I ftp'ed the latest floppies from a snapshot server, then made two floppies: kernel and mfs. Then I booted the kernel, and surprisingly, the kernel DID NOT install the driver and the same "xl0: couldn't map port" message is still displaying. All the thing is that you must be missing something in the code as this exact machine works fine if I install 3.1-RELEASE and it autodetects and installs the driver. Whomever wants debugging messages/tests, tell me what, I'll send it. Noor To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
