Re: Hang on Boot (still)
:D I booted the two floppies again. I tried what you said. hw.eisa_slots=0. It got farther this time. I got a full dmesg. However, it was followed by this: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0x7 fault code= supervisor read, page not present instructor pointer= 0x8:0xc01f0cc9 stack pointer = 0x10:0xcf2a3788 frame pointer = 0x10:0xcf2a3794 code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xf, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL=0 current process = 1 (sysinstall) trap number = 12 panic: page fault Doing a hw.eisa_slots=1 resulted in the same problem. So I decided to try a 5.0-RELEASE CD. I tried hw.eisa_slots=0, which resulted in the same crappy error I always got with 5.0-R. Then I remembered that ACPI wasn't disabled in 5.0-R by default. so I used the hint and disabled it. I got a lot farther, but it eventually hung with a message like cbb0: Card not supported, then it would reboot itself after a few seconds. So I decided to try a few other hints. It ended up that this combination of variables on my 5.0-RELEASE would get me booted and into sysinstall: hw.eisa_slots=0 hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 hint.pcic.0.disabled=1 So, disabling pcic0 did the trick. Then, I decided to go back to my snapshot and try this. However, I got the same page fault as described above. So what happened between 5.0-R and -C? I'll get my 5.0-R installed, and then I'll try to make world.

Hang on Boot (still)
I am attempting this with the latest snapshot that I could get. I am doing this off the kern and mfsroot floppies. This is (again) on a Dell Inspiron 2650 laptop. I boot the two floppies, and I get this: ...regular kernel boot messages... pci0: serial bus, SMBus at device 31.3 (no driver attached) pci0: multimedia, audio at device 31.5 (no driver attached) pci0: simple comms at device 31.6 (no driver attached) Then it hangs. I have to reboot. I tried doing: set hint.pci.0.disabled=1 set hint.pci.1.disabled=1 set hint.pcic.0.disabled=1 set hint.pcic.1.disabled=1 set hint.eisa.0.disabled=1 set hint.eisa.1.disabled=1 None make a difference. Also, ACPI is disabled by default. Now, for the platform information. To get this to boot 4.x successfully, eisa must be disabled. So, normally on a 4.x install, I would do 'boot -c', then at the 'conf' prompt, I would disable eisa support by typing 'eisa 0'. Essentially, I think If I could do this, I'd also get 5.0 to boot. However, the hints method is NOT working for disabling eisa (unless I do not quite understand how to do it). Everything works great under 4.x, as long as eisa is disabled. If it is not, it will not boot (just like this). The one alternative would be to compile a stripped kernel on another machine, and install off of it. I did this, but I do not have enough knowledge of the 5.x kernel/modules to be able to do this myself. If someone could give me some help with this instead, it would be greatly appriciated.
