Re: IRQ problems b/n USB and PCI modem... help! (SOLVED)
So, after getting some pointers from folks (thanks!) I started from scratch this morning twiddling one BIOS setting at a time. Turns out that it's *NOT* the USB controller. Well, maybe it is, I don't really know I guess. By turning off Power Management in the BIOS, I can access all three modems just fine. Strange, but I'm glad it's working :) Thanks all!

Should I try FreeBSD 5.x? If tou try 5.x, and the machine works with acpi, you can set the interrupt to use in /boot/loader.conf: hw.acpi.pci.link.%d.%d.%d.irq=num where %d.%d.%d is the device selector, and num is the irq to use.

Tip uses /etc/remote and the statements don't define as many modems as you are using. Sorry, I should have mentioned that I already modified /etc/remote and did my MAKEDEV stuff.

I don't have USB compiled into my kernel and there aren't any settings in the BIOS to shut USB off completely. This sounds like a number of bugs we have run into. Perhaps moving the serial card to being a PUC device like with did with the Smartlink modem in the PR below http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/74786 Also, if you do ever use the USB bus, there are a number of bug fixes you will need, especially with uhid. Anyone have any ideas on how I can get this to work? Should I try FreeBSD 5.x? If its the problem we are running into, no it will still be there under RELENG_5. However, in general RELENG_5 is much more stable, especially if you cannot turn off USB in the BIOS. ---Mike Mike Tancsa, Sentex communications http://www.sentex.net Providing Internet Access since 1994 [EMAIL PROTECTED], (http://www.tancsa.com) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
