Alternatively, it also doesn't find the CDROM drive after the boot stage of the install process. The only way I've gotten it to install is to copy the CDROM image to another UFS partition. I have a SONY C1VN Picturebook. In Linux, I can use "ide2=0x180,0x386", but I've been unable to apply this to CURRENT. Exactly what hints do I need to use? In 4.8Pre, it shows up as ata4. hint.ata.4.port=0x180? What about the 0x386? ----- IRQ/Memory Conflict? With CURRENT, running X kills my network connection. I suspected an IRQ/IOMEM conflict, the video card and pcmcia were sharing the same irq 9, but the same thing happens on my desktop... Is there a way to force hardware to specific IRQ/Memory configurations? i.e. When I installed 4.8pre, it prefers 0xd4000 and irq 10 for my pcmcia card, but CURRENT wants it to be at 0xd0000 and irq 9. Additionally, CURRENT seems to be ignoring pccard.conf and rc.conf pccardd settings... ----- ANY suggestions on how to best manage hardware configurations in CURRENT? Can't wait to learn MAC, other Trusted BSD features and GEOM! :o) Thanks! Abe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
