Hola,

i've recently come in to the posession of a Toshiba Satellite Pro
4600. after some work, i've installed FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE on a partition
of the disk.

so far, there've been a few problems.

First, the built in fxp ethernet card times out. it seems to be related
with the sharing of IRQs between many of the onboard PCI devices. The real
trick is that it seems i can't move any of these devices around at all.

currently, i'm running a slightly customised version of the GENERIC kernel
(i removed the USB devices, and stopped running the usbd to clear up some
clutter in the output from dmesg).

any ideas?

according to win2k, and freebsds dmesg, most devices on this machine are
set to use irq 11. i've not found an easy way to move irqs (win2k does let
you do this, but it seems that the laptops BIOS doesn't want to listen).

any thoughts or experiences with Toshiba laptops and making them work with
FreeBSD 4 would be appreciated.

thanks much,

-- johan
