>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.

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".

Sorry about going >off on this. I'd appreciate any help...Thanks... > > Robert Barkovich > barkovich@uclach.chem.ucla.edu You should configure your 2842 to sit at a different address. You have a choice of 0x1000 - 0x8000 (I believe) setable via jumpers on the card. -- Justin T.
