I have a new Toshiba Satellite 1005-S157 which appears to be similar
to the 3000 series. It doesn't have DVD/CD-RW, smartmedia slot,
ethernet or firewire.
Based upon Marius' suggestion about scsi support I have been able to
get FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE to boot and I have some functionality working.
I took my "standard" configuration, disabled all of the scsi devices,
built a special boot cd and was able to install the base operating
system.
Once I had the system booting I played around with the kernel
configuration and found that (at least in may case) it was not the
scsi support, but the addition of "device pcm" which made for a
working kernel.
I currently have the system working with:
text mode console
audio play
usb mouse
pcmcia networking
The following are not yet working:
XFree86 4.10 port
audio record
touchpad
Some apm works:
shutdown -p powers system off
battery information does not work
apm -z does not appear to work
I haven't yet attempted anything with the internal modem (probably
some form of winmodem).
I now have some confidence that this machine will shortly be
functional, but there is still significant work to do.
I need to look at XFree86 4.2 (or later). 4.1 says that the basic
hardware should work, but some pci parameters need to be added.
I'm most interested in getting sound to work for both recording and
full-duplex. I've seen numerous reports about pcm support having
problems with "pcm0: record interrupt timeout, channel dead" and have
been having this problem for several releases with several different
types of sound devices. This same error occurs with the Toshiba.
The boot message for pcm is:
pcm0: <Intel 82801CA (ICH3)> port 0x18c0-0x18ff,0x1c00-0x1cff irq 10 at device 31.5 on pci0
I've seen recent mention of patches for the ICH driver
<http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=35012>; and have tried
applying them without any apparent improvement. I may also try
-stable and/or -current to see if they so any better.
