after doing the make buldworld/buildkernel/installkernel/installworld again today CEST 10:00 most of my notebook works again: i got the floppy back i recompiled rtc/vmware2 after downloading the ports again and rtc/vmware loads and works fine now sbc recognices my ESS1879 (kde2 still doesnt play sound, but it is recogniced) the edimax 4000 pcmcia adapter works fine (needed to remove irq 5 in pccard.conf and set io to 280 instead of 240) now the open problems are only a few: rebooting doesnt work. not with shutdown -r now and not with reboot. i need to do a shutdown -h now, power off/on and the pc starts fine. to make sure the notebook works i used another disk and installed 4.1 on it from the cd set. with this rebooting works just fine. i compiled my kernel for the notebook, rebooting still works fine. as far as i remember till cvsup somewhere around the 17th i was able to reboot with 4.1. then 4.1 had the same problem as i have now with current too. pressing any key after shutdown -h now brings the same result. immediatly black screen (before any bios message) and hangs forever. the second problem cant be really verified at the moment. because suspend/resume works like the reboot. best regards, Karl __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
