(This data was also submitted to the freebsd-mobile mailing list.) This computer came with a free upgrade of one of them universal flash digital media card readers. I'm wondering if there is some conflict there. Anyway, I tried booting OpenBSD 3.5 on this box and it had trouble too; but it gave some useful information as to the "why." I'll transcribe it here (by hand.) cpu0: AMD Athlon(tm) XP Processor 3000+ ("AuthenticAMD" 686-class) 1.60 GHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2 real mem = ..... avail mem = .... using ... buffers/memory mainbus0 (root) bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+(c2) BIOS, date 04/30/04, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xfd750 pcibios0 at bios0: rev. 2.1 @ 0fd750/0x860 pcibios0: PCI IRQ Routing Table rev. 1.0 @ 0xfdf10/208 (11 entries) pcibios0: no compatable PCI ICU found: ICU vendor 0x10de product 0x00d0 pcibios0: Warning, unable to fix up PCI interrupt routing pcibios0: PCI bus #4 is the last bus bios0: ROM list: 0x0000/0xfc00 0xd0000/0x4000! 0xd4000/0x1000 Hope this helps. note also Jeff Connelly's comments on http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=amd64/67745 and note that another similar report is at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=i386/66401 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
