I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.4, but so far I haven't even made it into sysinstall. When I exit the kernel configuration, something goes wrong during kernel initialization and the system freezes before even getting to the "probing devices..." screen. When booting with `boot -v', here's what's left on the screen: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- fe0: not probed (disabled) ie0: not probed (disabled) lnc0: not probed (disabled) cs0: not probed (disabled) sn0: not probed (disabled) isa_probe_children: probing PNP devices adv1: Invalid baseport of 0x220 specified. Nearest valid baseport is 0x230. Failing probe. unknown: <Audio> failed to probe at port 0x220-0x22f,0x330-0x331,0x388-0x38b irq 5 drq 1,5 on isa0 adv1: Invalid baseport of 0x168 specified.

Failing probe. ata4: iobase=0x0168 altiobase=0x036e bmaddr=0x0000 ata4: mask=00 status0=ff status1=ff ata4: probe allocation failed unknown: <Generic ESDI/IDE/ATA controller> failed to probe at port 0x168-0x177,0x36e-0x36f irq 10 on isa0 adv1: Invalid baseport of 0x620 specified. Nearest valid baseport is 0x330. Failing probe. unknown: <WaveTable> failed to probe at port 0x620-0x62f on isa0 adv1: Invalid baseport of 0x200 specified. Nearest valid baseport is 0x210. Failing probe. unknown: <Game> failed to probe at port 0x200-0x20f on isa0 unknown: <StereoEnhance> failed to probe at port 0x100-0x10f on isa0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The only ISA card in my system (Pentium MMX, Intel 430 TX chipset, 1 IDE HD, CD drive and writer on a Symbios 860 SCSI controller, Realtek-8029-based NIC) is a Soundblaster 32 AWE. I would be perfectly happy just to ignore it for the moment and get on with the installation, but I don't know how to disable PnP autoprobing. Perhaps this isn't a PnP problem, but I don't know what else could be the cause. Here's what I've already tried: - I've stripped the kernel configuration to the bare minimum (can't install without the ATA, keyboard and console drivers). I have definitely not included the Advansys driver--I have no idea why it pops up in the messages. - The install disks themselves are fine. They do work in another computer. - The "PNP OS [Y/N]" setting in the BIOS setup doesn't have any effect here. I've tried it either way. - The computer is not a complete wreck. I've downloaded the FreeBSD 3.5.1 install disks (AFAIK 3.5.1 doesn't have PnP support), and they do get into sysinstall. So my questions are: Is this actually a PnP problem or was the kernel just finished with that and stumbled over the very next thing it was trying to do? How can I keep the kernel from doing the PnP dance? What else could I try?
