Strange. Does usbdevs(8) show it before kernel detection?

More symptoms: - the detection of the usb drive after adding to fstab was a fluke. The next few boots it was missing again... - I have seen the usb mouse and printer appear at boot twice now; each time after changing boot parameters (boot verbose, boot with ACPI). The usb key appear every time(?) - when the usb mouse is not found there is a 30sec delay after detecting the keyboard and before the message about failure to allocate an IRQ for psm0 (no surprise, there's nothing there.) I am now reinstalling from scratch (not that far back:-) Cheers, Peter _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
