Jordan K. Hubbard stands accused of saying: > This looks like the infamous "FreeBSD doesn't find my internal modem" > problem. Argh! Can we find and fix this one? Maybe our serial probe > is just a bit *too* discerning! :( The "doesn't find my internal modem" one is normally for modems that emulate the 16550 using a micro, and the problem is, I think, that sioprobe() is much faster than the emulation. I've had several people that I've asked to add delays at the /* XXX EXTRA DELAY? */ comments, but _none_ of the bastards have ever gotten back to me with results one way or the other. All of them, however, have failed the probe due to missing output interrupts. This one looks different - I would guess that they have something else on IRQ3, or their PCI setup is screwed. > From: acolyte@uoknor.edu (The Acolyte) > Well, that says it all.

What other hardware do you have in the machine? In particular, is there anything on IRQ3?

Check your PCI setup to make sure that IRQ 3 isn't being assigned to something else as well... > Eric -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 041-122-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "Who does BSD?"
