It works ok, but only with ACPI disabled. Enabled ACPI leads to the following problems: Input via keybord is not always recognised and the mouse cursor is kind of "jumpy". The whole system feels slow. Any hints to fix this problem are very welcome ;) Thanks in advance!

It is reported to work on one website, using NDIS, but I don't get far enough to make use of it. After some testing, I suspect it's the notebook not recognizing the pccard slot. - The cards diagnostic light blinks green and then goes off when inserted - The card information does not appear in dmesg after insertion - The card appears to work fine in knoppix - I'll have a friend with some spare pccards come over tomorrow - her cards work on her BSD box just fine, just to verify if it's card or card controller. My question, the system is a Toshiba Satellite A105-4001. It is an i850/ICH7 based machine. What's the best way to see what the pccard device is, and figure out how to get it working? My main test that leaves me suspicious, I booted the machine with the card and ran the following commands: $ ls /dev > IL-dev $ dmesg > IL-dmesg $ pciconf > IL-pciconf Next, I rebooted it without the card: $ ls /dev > I-dev $ dmesg > I-dmesg $ pciconf > I-pciconf Next I diff'ed the IL files with their matching I files, the only difference that popped up with dmesg with the 'Timecounter "TSC" frequency [...]. entry, which to my knowledge, should not be related to the problem at all. Any suggestions?

Change from last time: the BIOs is update to version v1.3234 (release date 08/09/06). Behaviour is like before. With no special "tweaks" (ie. nothing disabled), the bge network cards in the machine fail to attach. With ACPI disabled, and routing for irq 18 forced, bge works, but without acpi, the machine get too hot within less than an hour. dmesg's (standard and verbose) are on this page: http://tingox.googlepages.com/aceraspireas5672andfreebsd (along with any other info I'm able to dig up). -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway From owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Sep 30 01:34:01 2006 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A100C16A416 for ; Sat, 30 Sep 2006 01:34:01 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from torfinn.ingolfsen@broadpark.no) Received: from osl1smout1.broadpark.no (osl1smout1.broadpark.no [80.202.4.58]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 36F0943D4C for ; Sat, 30 Sep 2006 01:34:01 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from torfinn.ingolfsen@broadpark.no) Received: from osl1sminn1.broadpark.no ([80.202.4.59]) by osl1smout1.broadpark.no (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.1 HotFix 0.05 (built Oct 21 2004)) with ESMTP id <0J6D00CCWTOO4L30@osl1smout1.broadpark.no> for freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org; Sat, 30 Sep 2006 03:34:00 +0200 (CEST) Received: from kg-work.kg4.no ([80.203.21.224]) by osl1sminn1.broadpark.no (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.1 HotFix 0.05 (built Oct 21 2004)) with SMTP id <0J6D00E8OTONTPD0@osl1sminn1.broadpark.no> for freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org; Sat, 30 Sep 2006 03:34:00 +0200 (CEST) Date: Sat, 30 Sep 2006 03:33:59 +0200 From: Torfinn Ingolfsen X-Face: "t9w2,-X@O^I`jVW\sonI3.,36KBLZE*AL[y9lL[PyFD*r_S:dIL9c[8Y>V42R0"!"yb_zN,f#%.[PYYNq; m"_0v; ~rUM2Yy!zmkh)3&U|u!=T(zyv,MHJv"nDH>OJ`t(@mil461d_B'Uo|'nMwlKe0Mv=kvV?Nh@>Hb<3s_z2jYgZhPb@?Wi^x1a~Hplz1.zH To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Message-id: <20060930033359.f40f65a8.torfinn.ingolfsen@broadpark.no> MIME-version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Sylpheed version 2.2.9 (GTK+ 2.8.20; i386-portbld-freebsd5.5) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Subject: Install FreeBSD on an external (usb) hard drive?

I have just tried to install FreeBSD 6.2-beta1 (and 7.0-current 200609 snapshot) on an external (usb) hard drive which is connected to a laptop. (Yes, the Acer AS5672 laptop, which have the ability to boot off usb hard drives). Installation went fine, and I installed the FreeBSD boot manager. When I reboot, the boot manager comes up, but as soon as I press "F1", the screen fills with what I think is register dumps (hard to tell, because of the fast scrolling - and pressing "scroll lock" doesn't work) and I must power off the machine to recover. Any hints or pointers thankfully accepted. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway
