From: Xavier Beaudouin <kiwi@caudium.net> To: Hiten Pandya <hiten@uk.FreeBSD.org> Cc: <bug-followup@FreeBSD.org> It would be such a difficult task to document all the different hardware "make-me-work" 's that are availible. And sometimes, you can blame install problems on RAM, which happened to me once when trying to extract into / and /usr from the cd, its been about 6 months since this last happened, so please do not expect my memory to be exact. I would offer the idea of a 'hardware FAQ' or hardware 'article' which would help to document the various problems and installation methods of various hardware and hardware configurations. But this will undoubtedly bring forth the problems of "who will" and "with what time", plus generate a task of keeping track of the many different hardware configurations, which would be very difficult if not nearly impossible. A good resource for this type of documentation, as in gathering the information, would be hanging around the news groups gathering posts of hardware problems and how they were fixed, the various FreeBSD mailing lists, and even some #FreeBSD chat rooms throughout the IRC world.
