I have a "Dazzle" CF/PCMCIA adapter, which I use to flash CF cards for some embedded devices. The notebook I use it on is a Fujistu lifebook P2120. With FreeBSD 4.8, I can dd to/from the CF card with this reader just fine. It has nary a problem. With any version of 5.x, I have a variety of problems including things like card insertion freezes the machine. I can switch consoles, but no output takes place. As soon as I remove the card all my typing "appears" in the various windows. If I do manage to reinsert it enough times so it doesn't hang, then a dd to/from the device will either occasionally hang it, or I will get a variety of I/O errors, usually relating to "device timeout". WHen this happens I cannot type anything until I pull the adapter out, so I can't do an atacontrol stuff, or look at console output, or anything... I really want this to work, but not sure what else I can do. 4.8 works fine with the exact notebook/CF adapter, everything. I try to update regularly, but so far, I don't believe a version of 5.x has ever worked. The problem with the full-time use of 4.8 is that I can't get my realtek or wifi (builtin) to work properly... Any tips/assistance appreciated.
