I am doing a fresh installation. I installed the April 23, 1999 snapshot of STABLE and then cvsupped the CURRENT source (4.0 CURRENT). I did a 'make world' and that went fine. I copied the GENERIC kernel config to a new file and edited the copied file. I deleted whatever drivers I did not need. I also deleted, perhaps mistakenly, but out of habit, the line: "options FAILSAFE" I set the flags to wdc0 and wdc1 to 'a0ffa0ff' I then added the following: options SOFTUPDATES options P1003_1B options _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING options _KPOSIX_VERSION=199309L options CPU_WT_ALLOC controller snd0 device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 5 device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330 device opl0 at isa? port 0x388 Upon reboot, the system would hang after doing all of the probes. Below is some of the output that I got from a boot -v. I wrote this down on paper, so the formatting may be a little off. isa_compat: didn't get drq for wdc1 ... changing root device to wd0s1a At this point it hangs. But if I press a key on the keyboard I then get: wd0s1: type 0xa5, start 0, end = 3173183, size 3173184 wd0s1: C/H/S end 197/132/63 (1659041) != end 3173183: invalid start_init: trying /sbin/init wd0: interrupt timeout (status 50<rdy, seekdone > error 0) wd0: wdtimeout() DMA status 4 This last two lines above are repeated 5x, then I get: wd0: Last time I say: interrupt timeout. Probably a portable PC. It is a desktop PC. I am not at the system now, so the following is from memory. It is an AMI BIOS, a Western Digital 1.6 GB IDE drive on the primary IDE and a Mitsumi 4x CD-ROM drive on the secondary IDE. I can't boot an old kernel because the only old kernel I have is a 3.1 kernel and it lacks 'curproc()'. I don't remember the exact message for that. If there is any more info that is needed I will see if I can get it but I guess I will have to reinstall 3.1 for now. I hope this information is of value.
