In a compaq } machine both 2.0.5R and 2.1 R fail to probe the bus. There are too many systems with non-compliant chipsets (Compaq being the worst, IMHO), and the PCI bus probe code contains many special cases by now. You may want to try a kernel with the PCI probe code from FreeBSD-current. You'll only need "/sys/i386/isa/pcibus.c" from a -current source tree, it should compile cleanly on a 2.1R system. } Does anybody know what's happening? Could you please enter the "-v" option at the "Boot: " promt and send the numbers in all lines after the first pcibus_setup() ? What chip sets are used in the non-working systems ? 2.1R contains special code to deal with recent Compaq PCI chip sets, and has been tested with a number of them. I'll try to make all your systems supported in the main stream code, if you send VERBOSE boot messages (i.e. those obtained by booting with "-v"). Regards, STefan
