I don't know if combining old driver with new kernel works, but I have THE SAME config as your's (strange enough :)) and it work perfectly with 2.2.13 stock kernel compiled with SMP support. The base distribution is SuSE 6.2 (which was updated from 6.1) and I recompiled the SMP kernel myself. I've heard 1 problem with the Yamaha CD-RW and the AIC7890 SCSI chipset which on the P2B-DS(I just realize that yours may not be a dual board?) The problem was due to a firmware problem of the CD-RW 4416S. If I remember you should have at least version Rev: 1.0g of the CRW4416S. Look at /proc/scsi/scsi with a kernel you can boot. I will seek my e-mail archive in ordre to see if it is really the sae problem. DO NOT upgrade firmware without being sure it is the problem. Which kernel did you try? -- Eric NOULARD ------------------------------------------------------------------- Groupe ADULIS * Laboratoire PRiSM Tel: +33 1 69 59 26 66 * Tel: +33 1 39 25 40 71 Fax: +33 1 64 46 29 59 * Fax: +33 1 39 25 40 57 E-mail: E.Noulard@adulis.fr * E-mail: Eric.Noulard@prism.uvsq.fr To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe aic7xxx" in the body of the message
