I don't know of a site hat has that information, but perhaps if you post a message here with the exact messages, then some enterprising soul ay be able to figure out what the devices are and why FreeBSD isn't properly detecting them. > i think this will help me adjust each of my kernel configurations properly for > sound (the rest seems to be working pretty well), since there are 4 different > machines with 4 different hardware configurations, and 6 different kernel > configurations to consider (the laptops each have two hard disks) I doubt that you would have to modify your kernel configurations. If FreeBSD isn't properly identifying some device, then nothing you could add or modify in your kernel configuration would magically make FreeBSD recognize the device. Most likely someone will have to update the FreeBSD code to recognize such devices. -- Matthew Emmerton GSI Computer Services +1 (800) 217 5409 (Canada) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
