If no drivers are found, let ISA probe them.. */ pnp_configure(); #endif /* * Explicitly probe and attach ISA last. The isa bus saves * it's device node at attach time for us here. */ if (isa_bus_device) bus_generic_attach(isa_bus_device); However isa_bus_device is still NULL so we never get any ISA devices attached. No ISA devices means no console (the VGA card and serial ports are both ISA devices), so we explode. Since the ISA bus in this machine is on-board instead of being hung off a PCI to ISA bridge, I suspect that somebody broke the handling on on-board ISA buses. Thank you very much, may I have another. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager, Master of Unix-Fu Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ============================================================================= "It is not I who am crazy; it is I who am mad!" - Ren Hoek, "Space Madness" ============================================================================= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
