To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Fri, 30 Apr 1999 18:05:03 -3000 (CST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL25] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'd like to put 3.1-Release on a Compaq Presario 2284 (desktop). The box I have available currently has windoze98 and I can't yet trash it, but nevertheless I got 3.1-Release to floppy boot, get past the device probe phase and give me the install menu. (As long as I'm on this, how can I quit from the install menu and get a the "dmesg" output, such that I can verify the devices that were recognized and config'd during boot?) My question is, is anyone running 3.1 on this kind of Compaq; any strange things to worry about? A few months ago we installed 2.2.7 on a larger Compaq (can't remember the model but it's a 300 MHz Pentium II) and were never able to get 2.2.7 to recognize more than 16 MB RAM (that box has 64 MB). The Presario 2284 has a Digital 21143-based 10/100 Ethernet (recognized correctly as "de0" during floppy boot) and a built-in sound card that windoze reports as "ES 1869". Is this sound card supported by 3.1 ? Thanks in advance. -T To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
