Thanks John, a fresh install was probably a good idea anyway to at least get rid of all the junk that just seems to accumulate :) I now have 5.0 installed. I first tried a custom install booting from floppies and installing from the CD, but it still wouldn't mount the CD. So I put 4.7 back on (minimal) and created a new partition while I was at it. I mounted the CD and copied /cdrom/base and /cdrom/boot to it. Rebooted from floppies and installed successfully. After that I was able to add other distributions from the CD. Everything seems to be working with one small problem. Actually it's a big problem. No cardbus. Here's the boot messages (typed manually): cbb0: <TI1130 PCI-CardBus Bridge> at device 19.0 on pci0 cardbus0: <CardBus bus> on cbb0 pccard0: <16-bit PCCard bus> on cbb0 cbb: Unable to map IRQ... device_probe_and_attach: cbb0 attach returned 12 cbb0: <TI1130 PCI-CardBus Bridge> mem 0x88000000-0x88000fff at device 19.1 on pci0 cardbus1: <CardBus bus> on cbb0 pccard1: <16-bit PCCard bus> on cbb0 cbb: Unable to map IRQ... device_probe_and_attach: cbb0 attach returned 12 Later in the boot I had a few of those "can't assign resources" messages but digging thru the mail archives I found that they're nothing to worry about. The mouse port is one of them and the stick works fine. I have hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range set to 1 but upon further reading it was expected that it didn't change anything. I rebuilt the kernel (added sound support) but after reboot the above still happens. Does anyone have any suggestions (besides playing football with it)? Thanks in advance, Vince.
