Date: 27 Feb 1996 18:47:27 GMT Organization: Global SprintLink Lines: 27 Sender: jun@ (Jun John Wu) Distribution: world Message-ID: <4gvjjv$ril@ns.gsl.net> Reply-To: jun@gsl.net NNTP-Posting-Host: wolfox.gsl.net Hi, all I solved the X11 start up problem, it was due to the mouse device not in the kernel. Now I am trying to figure out why the kernel could not find any serial port, or modem. The machine is a Compaq LTE Elite laptop. One PCMCIA slot has 3COM EtherLink III card, that works fine. the other PCMCIA slot has US Robotics Courier 28,800 card. In addition, the COM1 port is free. Under normal Windows or Windows 95, the OS finds both the cards and the COM1 port without problem, the address for COM1 is normal, 03F8 - 03FF, IRQ 4. But under FreeBSD, the GENERIC kernel can not find any SIO port, Feb 26 11:50:33 tiger /kernel: sio0 not found at 0x3f8 Feb 26 11:50:33 tiger /kernel: sio1 not found at 0x2f8 Feb 26 11:50:33 tiger /kernel: sio2 not found at 0x3e8 Feb 26 11:50:33 tiger /kernel: sio3 not found at 0x2e8 Even if I remove the modem card from PCMCIA slot, the result is still the same. However, the kernel can find the onboard parallel port. Anyone has any ideas where to look to get the two serial ports available? Thanks. Jun
