i've been trying to install freebsd on a sony vaio pcg-n505ve for a few hours now. i know that this is not the first time a problem like this has passed this list [google tells me so], but the solutions posted here are not working. on boot, btx sees disk0 as the internal hard drive, and disk1 as the cdrom. the kernel boots and sysinstall starts. i can do basic partition info, but when i ask it to load files from cd/dvd it tells me that no cd/dvd devices were found. so i google. google tells me that things will work if i add 'set hw.pcic.intr_path=3D"1"' and 'set hw.pcic.irq=3D"0"' too the boot loader. so i do this, and it doesn't work. the only other thing that google can tell me is to try: 'set hw.pcic.intr_path="1"' and 'set hw.pcic.irq="0"' this renders the system worse than before. when this configuration tries to boot, the system hangs after 'ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0' at this point i try xp just because. it works flawlessly. i'm so not happy with that. can anyone help? ------------------------------------------------------------- zteknofreak@zteknofreak.net unix: because rebooting is for adding new hardware.
