I've just had precisely the same experience Simon Dick describes below (in his September 2 message to freebsd-stable) after I upgraded with cvsup from 4.1-RELEASE to 4.1-STABLE. Interesting bit is that after I unloaded kernel and successfully booted kernel.GENERIC, I tried compiling and installing the GENERIC kernel as MYKERNEL, but got exactly the same result - normal boot gave the "attach returned 6" message and hung a few lines later, while booting kernel.GENERIC worked. I'm a newbie, having just installed FreeBSD as my first Unix about 5 weeks ago. I'd very much appreciate help with the answers to 2 questions (and of course suggestions as to additional information I can provide): 1. What's the meaning of/reason for "flags 0x1?" 2. What should I do to avoid this particular problem in the future? Thanks, Jud ------------------------------------------------------- Hiya, is there any reason why "flags 0x1" got added to the atkbd0 line somewhere between 4.0 and 4.1? I'm asking as when I was trying to install 4.1-RELEASE it wasn't recognising the keyboard, installing with 4.0-RELEASE worked, after which I tried cvsuping to 4.1-STABLE which still didn't work. After some fiddling I found that it was the flags 0x1 part of atkbd0 which was stopping it working and so just recompiled a new kernel and it worked. Here's the error I found in the logs: Sep 2 20:11:04 adsl /kernel: atkbdc0: <Keyboard controller (i8042)> at port 0x60,0x64 on isa0 Sep 2 20:11:04 adsl /kernel: atkbd0: <AT Keyboard> flags 0x1 irq 1 on atkbdc0 Sep 2 20:11:04 adsl /kernel: device_probe_and_attach: atkbd0 attach returned 6 I'm running a Duron 650 on an Asus A7V motherboard if that's any use. -- Simon Dick simond@irrelevant.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
