Let us know the results of this. I did a bios upgrade but it didn't change anything exept that FreeBSD 4.3 needs some seconds before continuing to boot when power managhement is enabled. Version 4.4 puts the laptop in a kind of dangling mode which means the screen is blank the hd is down but the computer is not turned off properly. > > If that doesen't work then try the workaround: > > ok set hw.pcic.intr_path="1" > ok set hw.pcic.irq="0" > > that is listed in the release notes on the 4.4 boot floppy and let us > know > if that works.

My version was sold only in MediaMarkt Stores and is labeled as "Network" (which was their own branding of computers). On boot screen it prints out: SystemSoft Bios v 1.17.01 In the bios it shows up a version: 1.00.3 Date: 10/22/97 (which I doubt) Bye and hth again, Daniel Jahre ............................................................. computer science student @ Chemnitz Universtity of Technology ............................................................. international call: +491773367222 mailto: Daniel.Jahre@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
