What I learned over the last couple days, is that FreeBSD has 0 support for cardbus. Sucks... I just spent $3200 on my first laptop, and now I can't install FreeBSD on it :/ -Troy ** -----Original Message----- ** From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG ** [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of ** Pat Wendorf ** Sent: Monday, January 31, 2000 12:26 PM ** To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org ** Subject: Dell Inspiron 7000 ** ** ** Hey All, ** ** I've been trying to help a friend get FBSD installed on ** his Dell laptop. ** However, it seems that the card sockets are not being ** detected with ** an IRQ, even if we force it (with "machdep" statements, ** and assigning ** them in the kernel config). ** ** I've recieved lots of help from a person on the freebsd-mobile list ** but we're still not much further.
