re: compaq presario r3000z and HP Pavillion zv5000 boot failure. This is an issue that bounced around both this list and the mobile list several months ago. A user came up with a patch which is complicated to install because you have to compile it on a different machine and make your own installable media. He suggested we focus our efforts on the AMD64 list. The problem seems really to be with the nforce3 chipset that runs both AMD64 and Athlon-M processors. The patch he suggests is well presented in the mailing list: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-amd64/2004-July/001684.html Much gratitude to Jung-uk Kim for coming up with this fix. There may be a better solution somewhere else in the OS. It sure would be cool if this were fixed. _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Win 1 of 4,000 free domain names from Yahoo!
