The kernel starts booting and hangs after printing.. ... ata1: ... uhci0: ... usb0:... uhub0: ... pci0: ... vendor=0x8086 dev=0x2443 uhci1: ... usb1: ... uhub1: ... pci0: ... vendor=0x8086 dev=0x2445 The HD/FDD (the same light is for both) light stays on, I couldn't hit ctrl-alt-bspace (is the 4.4 kern.flp kernel built with DDB?) or ctrl-alt-delete. Had to hold the power button down for ~4 seconds. There are no PnP OS type options in the BIOS. --- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
