I have a machine which has been happily running FreeBSD 3.4+KAME (and FreeBSD 3.2 and other earlier versions as well). When I try installing 4.1, 4.1.1, or 4.2 on it, the kernel hangs up after probing the PCI devices and before probing the ISA bus. When I boot up in 3.4, here is some output from a boot -v: [all PCI probes succeed, ending with xl0] bpf: xl0 attached Trying Read_Port at 203 Trying Read_Port at 243 Trying Read_port at 283 Trying Read_Port at 2c3 Trying Read_Port at 303 Trying Read_Port at 343 Trying Read_Port at 383 Trying Read_Port at 3c3 No Plug-n-Play devices were found Probing for devices on the ISA bus: atkbd: the current kbd controller command byte 0067 atkbd: keyboard ID 0x41ab (2) kbdc: RESET_KBD return code:00fa kbdc: RESET_KBD status:00aa [and so forth, and the system boots up] By comparison, here is what I get with 4.2 booting from the kern.flp floppy with boot -v: [all PCI probes succeed, ending with xl0] bpf: xl0 attached [system hangs forever] And here's what I get with 4.1 booting from the kern.flp floppy with boot -v: [all PCI probes succeed, ending with xl0] bpf: xl0 attached Trying Read_Port at 203 Trying Read_Port at 243 Trying Read_port at 283 Trying Read_Port at 2c3 Trying Read_Port at 303 Trying Read_Port at 343 Trying Read_Port at 383 Trying Read_Port at 3c3 ata-: ata0 exists, using next available unit number ata-: ata1 exists, using next available unit number [system hangs forever] The system is built on an ASUS motherboard which was the latest thing back when the Pentium 166MHz was new, and it's hard for me for consider it "old". But, 4.2 works fine on my laptop. I sure would like to upgrade my machine. Can you give me any suggestions? -- George Mitchell (george@m5p.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
