On on eof the machines however, having that kernel with no cyclades card results in a page fault in cyprobe(). The simple answer is to just disable the cy driver.. (I really don't want a separate kernel for this machine) If I boot -c I can type "dis cy0" and all works sweet. But I can't be there to type that all the time. I've tried adding hint.cy.0.disabled="1" to both loader .conf and /boot/device.hints (which didn't exist before) but when I do a boot -c I see that it is still enabled, and the system still crashes during boot. It appears that this is a 5.x feature. (gee how we forget) Is there something I need to do to get thes dammned device to disable? Is there somethign I can type in a file somewhere?, Which file? what do I type at the boot loader prompt to disable the device? (can I do that? other than boot -c..... disable cy0) Julian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
