Hi! Thanks for following up on this -- it's awfully nice of you. Actually, I got the cards working now. It took assigning different IRQ's (they had 3 & 5, and I changed them to 10 and 11; apparently COM1 was using 3, and maybe smth else was using 5), and disabling all firewall options in the kernel. > [ML] 4 hour compilation is obscene--are you sure that the turbo > is not disabled? My 486dx33 compiles the kernel, including make depend > under 1 hour (45 minutes is more like it). Do you have any L2 cache on > the machine (IIRC, turbo switch disables L2 cache for the 486). Hmmm. Makes me wonder... You know, I inherited the motherboard + CPU from somebody else, and I don't have any documentation to it. The onboard pins to connect the turbo switch or even internal speaker are not marked -- so I have no clue at what frequency the processor is running (it doesn't report at the boot-up either). I ran old Norton diagnostics on it from a floppy, and it reported CPU running at 102MHz, which impressed me immensely. When FreeBSD boots is says: Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz CPU: i486 DX4 (486-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x480 Stepping=0 Features=0x3 real memory = 16777216 (16384K bytes) avail memory = 14573568 (14232K bytes) Does this mean that it thinks the CPU runs at 1MHz? That could explain 4 hour compilation (actually, that would be pretty fast for a 1MHz computer) ;^). -- Arcady Genkin "... without money one gets nothing in this world, not even a certificate of eternal blessedness in the other world..."
