I just installed 4.1.1-RELEASE on a dual 100mhz ALR Evolution that has a
LinkSys 100 nic, Diamond Stealth 64 4mb vision 964, ISA Vibra16
Soundblaster(non-pnp), DPT PM2022A scsi controller which has 2 2G seagate
barracuda, 1 Quantum Fireball (1.2 G), 1 DEC (1 G) and a NEC 3x CDROM drive
on it.

I was able to get the system installed but on boot it panics with this:

panic: resource_list_alloc: resource entry is busy

I set boot_verbose=1 and the line preceding the panic is

ata-: ata2 exists, using next available unit number.


I also get a this:

atapci0 Busmastering DMA not supported

I was having the same problem when I used the kern/boot floppies created
from the 4.1.1 CD.  I used the floppies created off of a 4.1 CD and I was
able to boot fine. I set the release tag to 4.1.1-RELEASE and the install
went great, although both php-3 and php-4 packages failed. 

When it came to configuring the kernel for the install I deleted all network
cards, and the pc-card under misc because of conflicts.
Where can I get more info on this step of the install?

Where can I get some better diagnostics.  In verbose mode everything scrolls
off the screen to fast to see what else is going on.

I am suspicious of my NEC CD drive being a little flaky but I'm not sure if
that would effect bootup.

Any ideas?  

Thanks,
Mike
