Well first I tried to use sup to get the latest code and do a make release to create a new boot disk. The make world part couldn't compile all of the way through each of three different times (supping first each time) I tried. So I installed the 960801-SNAP on a second system, then supped to get the latest sys code (I assumed would include the new pci.c and pcisupport.c) compiled a new kernel then moved the hard drive and controller back into the Compaq. Same exact problem. Question: where can I get pci.c and pcisupport.c and know that they are the most recent copies, so I can try again? Secondly, I have a 3Com 3C905 which the second system found on the pci bus, but said "[no driver loaded]" even though both the GENERIC kernel and my new kernel had the vx driver compiled in. ========================================================== Matt Rosenberg Washington University School of Law matt@www.wulaw.wustl.edu http://www.wulaw.wustl.edu/~matt ==========================================================
