I am doing this off the kern and mfsroot floppies. This is (again) on a Dell Inspiron 2650 laptop. I boot the two floppies, and I get this: ...regular kernel boot messages... pci0: at device 31.3 (no driver attached) pci0: at device 31.5 (no driver attached) pci0: at device 31.6 (no driver attached) Then it hangs. I have to reboot. I tried doing: set hint.pci.0.disabled=1 set hint.pci.1.disabled=1 set hint.pcic.0.disabled=1 set hint.pcic.1.disabled=1 set hint.eisa.0.disabled=1 set hint.eisa.1.disabled=1 None make a difference. Also, ACPI is disabled by default. Now, for the platform information. To get this to boot 4.x successfully, eisa must be disabled. So, normally on a 4.x install, I would do 'boot -c', then at the 'conf>' prompt, I would disable eisa support by typing 'eisa 0'. Essentially, I think If I could do this, I'd also get 5.0 to boot. However, the hints method is NOT working for disabling eisa (unless I do not quite understand how to do it). Everything works great under 4.x, as long as eisa is disabled. If it is not, it will not boot (just like this). The one alternative would be to compile a stripped kernel on another machine, and install off of it. I did this, but I do not have enough knowledge of the 5.x kernel/modules to be able to do this myself. If someone could give me some help with this instead, it would be greatly appriciated.
