I recently got a new Asus laptop. I went to place FreeBSD 4.8 on it, but it kept hanging on detecting the HDD. So I tried 5.1 instead which installed fine.
I have run into several problems with the hardware. The first is that the 3 Com Gigabit card (from the 3com site it looks like a 3C2000-T) is not being detected. I can not find anything in the kernel config that will help with the detection. So the first question is what can I do so that it can be detected and setup? The second problem has been with trying to get X started. When I started X, all I end up with is a blank screen and no response. Ctl-Alt-Backspace does terminated it, but there is still no display. I am now at a stage of being uncertain where to continue from here since the XFree logs are not as helpful as I had hoped. So does anyone have any good suggestions on what I could try to get either or both to work? Thanks in advance Kim Some information on the PC: (let me know if you need any more information) The kernel is currently a generic one with the radeondrm device compiled in.
