Date: 15 Jul 1994 16:13:55 GMT Organization: Assumption University Lines: 42 Message-ID: <306ck3$12m@bsd.au.ac.th> References: <jaganeCsyx62.4Fo@netcom.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: abac.au.ac.th X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] My machine is Pentium with BT946... Your problem is that the kcopy-bt kernel is compiled with the irq of buslogic set to irq 12 (this cannot be set in my PCI board) ... so I have to use my old adaptec card to install Freebsd first then compile the new kernel with the proper irq of my BT946.. that's all. If you like, I have the kernel with bt irq set to 11. --keh-- Jagane D Sundar (jagane@netcom.com) wrote: : It's been a while since I dropped out of the 386BSD scene and I got : around to trying FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 on my brand new Pentium machine : last week.
