Neville-Neil" Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi Folks, I have a VAIO 505TL that I'm trying to get STABLE onto. What I do is install from 4.3 CDROM which goes quite well, the PCMCIA card for the CDROM is recognized and used and things work OK. I then do cvsup make buildworld make buildkernel make installkernel make installworld mergemaster reboot I can then not boot because the kernel hangs after the line about ad0: (the disk). I suspect this of being a kernel configuration problem. What I need to know is: 1) How can I find out what the kernel that got installed by 4.3 looked like. I figure it's the fact that I'm using GENERIC that's causing the issue but without a way to find out the kernel config I'm going to always have this problem and I don't want to do this over and over and over again. 2) If anyone has gotten this done on this or a similar (recent) Sony laptop.
