I found, btw, that hint.atkbdc.0.at="isa" hint.atkbdc.0.port="0x060" hint.atkbd.0.at="atkbdc" hint.atkbd.0.irq="1" in my loader hints file caused a panic on the 4100 similar to yours. When the atkbd controlle actually tries to attach, it prints out: atkbdc0: at port 0x60,0x64 on isa0 So, I commented out the hints file entirely. So- without digging into the details, it seems to me that the port hint and something else deciding there could be a second port, was also a cause of confusion and panic. -matt On Fri, 13 Jul 2001, David O'Brien wrote: > On Tue, Jul 10, 2001 at 08:27:50PM -0700, Matthew Jacob wrote: > > following up further on this- make sure you also don't have hints > > set by the loader.
