Kruk" Organization: University of Waterloo X-Mailer: Mozilla 1.12 (X11; I; OSF1 V3.2 alpha) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: iso0 probe during boot kills my video X-URL: http://www.ca.freebsd.org/support.html Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Here is a small problem I have with Release 2.1 (from Walnut Creek). During the boot process, if I allow to probe for the serial channels com1 and com2 (iso0 and iso1), then my video dies (an Asus card pci-vt241, Mach64 based). If I disable the probing by the -c switch and 'disable iso0', then all is fine. It is only the video that dies, the boot process finishes normally. I don't see anything on screen but I can login and ask for a reboot and if I don't probe the iso0 then everything works fine ??? I am at a loss to see a connection between probing the serial channel and my video card. If it means anything, this machine is a PCI pentium with 16 Meg. The video card has 2 Meg and a Mach64 chip.
