There were some PCI-related breakages that only affected a handful of machines, such as Compaq servers, because Compaq's PCIBIOS is braindead. Bitch at Compaq to fix this problem, if you can. Changes were made to work around this by default -- update to the latest -STABLE and all should work fine. At least August 22 -STABLE is working fine on my Proliant ML530. > Admittedly I'm a little short on sleep, and I think I overlooked > something obvious.

Those systems don't have braindead PCIBIOSes. :-) > A secondary side effect of this upgrade has left my floppy drive > hosed.

I haven't used the floppy lately on my ML530 in FreeBSD, so I don't know. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet - Available for IA32 (Intel x86) and Alpha architectures - IA64, PowerPC, UltraSPARC, and ARM architectures under development - http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
