It might be worth while to compare HW revisions etc as well as there=20 might be differences. One thing you could try would be to install a 6.2 system and if that=20 still works just grap ATA from releng_6 as that is now the same as in=20 -current and should fit almost cleanly into 6.2 as is, then give that a=20 run. Depending on the outcome we'll know more about where to look for=20 the problem. For references sake could we please get a list of the actual HW that=20 people have problems with listed here, as detailed as possible please. -S=F8ren --------------070405020906020403010607 Content-Type: text/plain; x-mac-type="0"; x-mac-creator="0"; name="DEEPCORE" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="DEEPCORE" machine i386 cpu I686_CPU ident DEEPCORE makeoptions DEBUG=-g # Build kernel with gdb(1) debug symbols makeoptions MODULES_OVERRIDE="" options SCHED_4BSD # 4BSD scheduler options PREEMPTION # Enable kernel thread preemption options INET # InterNETworking options FFS # Berkeley Fast Filesystem options SOFTUPDATES # Enable FFS soft updates support options UFS_ACL # Support for access control lists options UFS_DIRHASH # Improve performance on big directories options NFSCLIENT # Network Filesystem Client options NFSSERVER # Network Filesystem Server options MSDOSFS # MSDOS Filesystem options CD9660 # ISO 9660 Filesystem options PROCFS # Process filesystem (requires PSEUDOFS) options PSEUDOFS # Pseudo-filesystem framework options COMPAT_43 # Compatible with BSD 4.3 [KEEP THIS!] options COMPAT_FREEBSD4 # Compatible with FreeBSD4 options COMPAT_FREEBSD5 # Compatible with FreeBSD5 options COMPAT_FREEBSD6 # Compatible with FreeBSD6 options KTRACE # ktrace(1) support options SYSVSHM # SYSV-style shared memory options SYSVMSG # SYSV-style message queues options SYSVSEM # SYSV-style semaphores options _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING # POSIX P1003_1B realtime extensions options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV # install a CDEV entry in /dev options ADAPTIVE_GIANT # Giant mutex is adaptive. # Firewall stuff. options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_FORWARD options IPDIVERT options DUMMYNET # Basic HW infrastructure support. device apic # I/O APIC device acpi # ACPI support # Bus support. device pci # ATA and ATAPI devices device ata device atadisk # ATA disk drives device ataraid # ATA RAID drives device atapicd # ATAPI CDROM drives device atapifd # ATAPI floppy drives device atapist # ATAPI tape drives device atausb # USB device support #options ATA_STATIC_ID # Static device numbering # atkbdc0 controls both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse device atkbdc # AT keyboard controller device atkbd # AT keyboard device psm # PS/2 mouse device kbdmux # keyboard multiplexer # syscons is the default console driver, resembling an SCO console device sc device splash # Splash screen and screen saver support device vga # VGA video card driver device agp # support several AGP chipsets # Add suspend/resume support for the i8254. device pmtimer # Serial (COM) ports device sio # 8250, 16[45]50 based serial ports # PCI Ethernet NICs that use the common MII bus controller code. # NOTE: Be sure to keep the 'device miibus' line in order to use these NICs! device miibus # MII bus support device bge # Broadcom BCM570xx Gigabit Ethernet device de # DEC/Intel DC21x4x (``Tulip'') # Pseudo devices. device loop # Network loopback device random # Entropy device device ether # Ethernet support device tun # Packet tunnel. device pty # Pseudo-ttys (telnet etc) device gif # IPv6 and IPv4 tunneling # The `bpf' device enables the Berkeley Packet Filter. # Be aware of the administrative consequences of enabling this! # Note that 'bpf' is required for DHCP. device bpf # Berkeley packet filter # USB support device uhci # UHCI PCI->USB interface device ohci # OHCI PCI->USB interface device ehci # EHCI PCI->USB interface (USB 2.0) device usb # USB Bus (required) #device udbp # USB Double Bulk Pipe devices device ugen # Generic device uhid # "Human Interface Devices" device ukbd # Keyboard device ulpt # Printer device ums # Mouse --------------070405020906020403010607--
