A straight boot hangs. If I break the boot at the 'hit any key message', the system boots fine. If I remove the NIC, a 3Com Megahertz card, model 3XXE589ET, the system boots fine. Thinking this was an irq 5 problem, I have configured the kernel to include 'device pcm' and loaded the correct sound driver in /boot/loader.conf. After all this the system still hangs during boot if the card is in. The card uses the ep driver. With the old kernel, adding pccard_enable="YES" did not change any of the above. That the background now the questions: 1) Is there any place I can go to figure out how to add an entry to pccard.conf from the dumpcis output? 2) Are there design reasons that pccardd can find the card in /etc/defaults/pccard.conf and the regular boot process does not? I also tried removing irq 5 from the pool of dynamically assigned irq's. Either I did that incorrectly or that too had no effect. Interrupting the boot process at the loader interface makes everything work (as does removing the card). I do not know enough about the boot process to make use of that information. The system (pc and NIC) all works in current, however I could not get XFree86 running and could not work around that problem at all as it was (effectively) a hard stop in the X server with no logging done at all. I am happy to supply more information. _____ Douglas Denault http://www.safeport.com doug@safeport.com Voice: 301-469-8766 Fax: 301-469-0601
