I am trying to install FreeBSD 2.0 for Intel-based PCs and ran into a problem. My CD-ROM drive is attached to a Pro Audio Spectrum 16 sound card. My disk controller is an Adaptec 2842. When I tried to install FreeBSD from CD-ROM, the installation program cound not find my CD-ROM drive. Upon further inspection, I noticed the following message in the kernel "pas0 not probed due to i/o address conflict with ahc0 at 0x1f88". For ahc0 -- "ahc0 at 0x1000 - 0x1fff irq 11 on eisa". I could not manage to get FreeBSD to recognize my CD-ROM drive without disabling my disk controller (ahc0) which caused the panic message and reboot. If there is any solution to this I would appreciate if you could tell me. The only solution I can think of is to hook the CD-ROM directly to my Adaptec controller, but I would prefer other options as I would have to switch the SCSI cable any time I switched from DOS to BSD because I have programs already set for the previous configuration. Sorry about going off on this. I'd appreciate any help...Thanks... Robert Barkovich barkovich@uclach.chem.ucla.edu
