Well - I've finally got the power back on, and the machines rebooted :-) It was really something over here in Raleigh, NC. Anyway, I took this opportunity to replace an old 486 with a new PCI pentium-133 (Triton II-VX chip set, not the fastest, but hey...) Now - I've got an interesting plug-and-play problem. If I tell the BIOS (Award, PnP support version 1.0A dated 1996) it has no DRQs or IRQs it can assign to PnP/PCI devices, everything _except_ the Sound-Blaster PNP card I have will work. If I tell the BIOS it has any DRQs - the old ne2000 I have (not PnP) quits working... something weird there. Also, I should add, this is 2.1.5-RELEASE, with the PnP patches that were applicable to 2.1. What I assumed would happen is that the BIOS should give-up on assigning any values to the PnP sound card, then FreeBSD should pick up the pieces here... apparently, that's not what's going on. Also, I'm running a Trident 9680 PCI video card - could it be conflicting somehow? [I'm using the XFree86 'G' beta...] - Dave Rivers -
