Hey there, I just tried to install freebsd 5.0RC3 on my laptop but the mini-inst-iso kernel hangs before entering the install-screen. The last two lines shown are (boot -v): agp0: <Intel 82443BX (440BX) host to PCI bridge> mem 0-0x3ffffff at \ device 0.0 on pci0 agp0: allocating GATT for aperture of size 64M Anyway, I don't need agpsupport for an installation-process, so I tried to disable agp on boot-prompt. I looked for a hint-variable but there doesn't seem to exist one. anyway, lsmod shows agp.1 in the modules: section, so I thought about disable the loading of that module. Well, after an "unload; disable-module agp (which worked, he said he wouldn't load it anymore); load kernel;" an lsmod still shows agp.1. Is this a bug or can't I disable agp-support on installation cdroms? The machine doesn't detect agp-devices when booting with boot-floppies, so I think that should be possible with the cd too. I am fairly new to freebsd and I read the documentation about hints and also about the boot-prompt. Additionaly I asked google and dejagoogle for this issue and got no help. If I still left out a possibility I am sorry for making noise. so long... David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
