Hello, I have upgraded today from some 4.2-STABLE to 4.3-RC. I have encountered the following problems: - First, trying reboot single user with the new kernel and modules (i had some modules loaded by /boot/loader.conf, namely vesa ipf splash and a splash bitmap) but old /boot/loader had problems. I could not type -s at the OK prompt. Only garbage appeared on the screen. I had to boot directly from the bootblocks to complete the installation. So the keyboard seems to have been completely messed up. After make installworld there is no more problem using the keyboard at the loader prompt. - Second i had disabled sound in the kernel config file since it is now a module. However trying to cat something to /dev/audio or dsp or using mixer said device not configured. I have a Vibra16 and have tried kldloads of snd_pcm and snd_sbc in each order without any effect. I have recompiled a kernel with device sbc and device pcm, now everything is OK. From the dmesg it appears that module sbc yielded proper recognition of the sound card, but module pcm never attached to sbc. In other words the line pcm0: <SB16 DSP 4.16 (ViBRA16X)> on sbc0 never appeared, but the line sbc0: <Creative ViBRA16X> at port 0x220-0x22f,0...irq 5 drq 1,3 on isa0 was here. At least the first problem may be very embarassing for people. -- Michel Talon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
