I just got this machine, never had a problem installing and finding the PS/2 port on other computers, but for some reason, this one doesn't find it. I'm still pretty much a newbie at this. I have FreeBSD 2.2.7 release CD's from last October. This motherboard is the one without the onboard sound card, if that's any help. Here are the error messages: psm0: current command byte:0047 kbdio: TEST_AUX_PORT status:00fa kbdio: DIAGNOSE status:0055 kbdio: TEST_KBD_PORT status:00fa rsm: keyboard port failed psm0: the aux port is not functionning (250). psm0 not found at 0x60 The keyboard (also PS/2) works fine, and I know that the mouse and keyboard are both in the right port. This is a dual boot machine with Win98 on it. The HD is a little over 8 Gig. I don't even know where to start to trouble shoot this one. Would a more recent stable version be the solution to the problem? I have a 3Com/USR 56K V.90 modem inside (PnP but not Win). Also, I bought a network card, thinking it was supported, but apparently the driver I'm trying to use for it doesn't work. Here's the message: pci0:15: vendor0x11ad, device0x0002, class=network(ethernet) int a irq 10 [no dpiver assigned] It's a Linksys LNE100TX. Of course, it's PnP and I don't know if I can disable the PnP ability. I thought is was supported under the de driver, and I don't know which driver would support it. They didn't have that wide a range of network cards to chose from at Fry's, at least not for the 10/100's. I need to know now if it's supported or not, and which ones are (the other one at Fry's was a DLink DFE-530, not the DE-530 which is known to be supported, and I know the Intel line isn't sold by Fry's anymore). I've checked the list of supported cards and no other ones seemed to be supported by FreeBSD. I need an inexpensive yet stable card, of a very recent model (since that's all they have apparently). I still have about a week to return it without any questions, and I need to know if it's supported by a later version than 2.2.7, or if there's a driver being written for it as we speak... It's not a critical issue since it will be connected to the net through modem most of the time, but when I'll bring it in a LAN, I'd like for it to have a working, supported nic inside...
