Filipi-Martin" Reply-To: adrian@virginia.edu To: FreeBSD Questions List Subject: Help installing to a ThinkPad 750C Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi folks, I posted before about having keyboard problmes when installing 2.1.5 to a ThinkPad 750C. I upgraded my main system to 2.1.5 and produced a custom boot floppy which used PCVT as the console driver, yet I am still having problems with the console. (I also removed all the unnecessary drivers while I was at it.) Now when it boots, the text is white on red and the boot process hangs as it tries to exec sysinstall. If I try to interact with the kernel configuration visual interface, I cannot use the arrow keys. It's seems to understand the keyboard better, but before sysinstall used to run. Any thing I have missed? If I cannot figure this out soon, I'm going to have to admitt defeat. thanks, Adrian adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| Support your local programmer, System Administrator --->>>| STOP Software Patent Abuses NOW!
