System Details: Laptop - AMS Roadster 151CT (OEM: Mitac 5033) Intel Triton 430TX chipset AMD K6-2/333 MHz CPU, 64 MB RAM, 6.0 GB toshiba HD BIOS: SystemSoft BIOS v1.20 (this is the latest version available from the website) OS: FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE (cvsupped just this evening) OK, here's the problem: I'm trying to get USB going on this laptop. I'd like to be able to plug in a USB mouse to the thing, as well as using an aue driver-based Ethernet adapter (specifically, the D-Link DSB650TX) with this machine. I inserted the usb lines exactly as described in LINT, and recompiled. Everything compiled allright. However, when I reboot the system, I get this: uhci0: <Intel 82371AB/EB (PIIX4) USB controller> irq 0 at device 1.2 on pci0 uhci0: Invalid irq 0 uhci0: Please switch on USB support and switch PNP-OS to 'No' in BIOS Hrm. The BIOS does *not* have an "enable/disable USB" option, nor does it have any options to assign I/O, IRQ, etc. Neither does my BIOS have an "enable/disable PnP" option. (Yes, SystemSoft BIOS sucks. Sigh.) On a hunch I popped in a spare laptop hard drive I had lying around, and installed a fresh 3.4-RELEASE on to it. Added USB into a kernel config file and compiled. This time, I get something even worse: the machine panic's, does not even boot up! Needless to say, Windows 98 and Windows 2000 see the USB port fine. I can plug in my USB mouse and happily use it, and I can use the USB ethernet under Win98, with the drivers supplied by D-link. And when I check the Device manager thingie, the USB port *does* have an IRQ assigned to it -- IRQ 9. (Nothing else is using IRQ 9, and there appear to be no other IRQ conflicts.) Again, everything works fine in Windows-land. Anybody have any ideas? Or am I SOL? :( Any help gratefully appreciated. Please reply to me directly, and/or to freebsd-stable.
