Have you tried 3.4-R with PAO? I use it with a Compaq M700 and Xircom Realport RE-100 and it just works of the shelf! Try it. /Morten -----Original Message----- From: Garrett Rooney [mailto:rooneg@rpi.edu] Sent: 2. maj 2000 19:20 To: Jamie Bowden Cc: mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Laptop CDROM not recognized by Sysinstall. > I have a Dell Latitude CPx H500 with a slight problem.

Any ideas? just another data point. i had exactly the same problems with a dell inspiron 3800 and freebsd 3.4. (coincidently enough i was also trying 3.4 because 4.0 doesn't support my Xircom ethernet card) I eventually gave up and went back to 4.0, which installed from cdrom fine. still witing for ethernet though ;-( -garrett x----------------------------------------------------------------------x | rooneg@rpi.edu garrett rooney | | http://www.rpi.edu/~rooneg unix geek | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | unrequited love is neat because it lasts so much longer - w. t. c. | x----------------------------------------------------------------------x To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
