This bit is sufficiently similar to Linux for me to know it :) Problem is, I haven't got 4.7 installed. I want to install 5.0DP2. I can't install 5.0DP2 due to the reboot, and therefore I can't get to a command prompt in order to run dmesg.... Bit of a chicken & egg situation -- if I could install 5.0Dp2 successfully, then I wouldn't need to be sending you the output of dmesg here ;) > Also, you may find it helpful to boot "verbosely" by using: > > set boot_verbose > > in the boot loader prior to starting the kernel. Didn't know about that. I'll give it a go. -- Cheers, Chris Howells -- chris@chrishowells.co.uk, howells@kde.org Web: http://chrishowells.co.uk, PGP key: http://chrishowells.co.uk/pgp.txt KDE: http://www.koffice.org, http://edu.kde.org, http://usability.kde.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
