Well folks I figured it out by my self. I did not get any responses to my post so I keep fooling around trying different things. I took the hard drive from the development PC and used it in a old 586 133mhz pc to see if the problem was hardware dependent. I still got the message 'sio0 not probed (Disabled)'. Then the new FBSD handbook came in the mail and it had a different FBSD 4.4 install cd from Windriver. I reinstalled FBSD over my previous install, copied my custom kernel source from floppy and recompiled kernel. Now the message 'sio0 not probed (Disabled)' no longer get issued during the boot process. My original FBSD4.4 install CD that was giving me the problem was from Linux Central and only cost $3.00. It was FBSD version 4.4 but it must have been in error some way. On the FBSD road again. Happy trails to all. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Joe & Fhe Barbish Sent: Monday, November 12, 2001 2:07 PM To: FBSD Questions Subject: sio0 not probed in recompiled Generic kernel - need external modem support on com1 port I removed all the devices I did not need and recompiled the kernel. The new kernel boots up but issues message 'sio0 not probed (Disabled)'. I need sio0 for a external modem so I started to test different kernels. I then booted using the kernel.GENERIC that comes with FBSD and the sio ports are probed ok. I them recompiled /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC original source creating a new generic kernel that should match the kernel.GENERIC. This new kernel also issues message 'sio0 not probed (Disabled)'. How can this be? Is not the kernel.GENERIC built from the GENERIC source? That's what the handbook says. The only change to the basic FBSD 4.4 install is I added boot_verbose="YES" statement to the loader.conf file so I would always get the verbose (detailed) boot messaged. This should be very easy for one of you FBSD experts to reproduce. Is there a bug in the make process for FBDS4.4, or is there wrong source definitions in the GENERIC source file?
