AFAIK, only 80386 support in GENERIC. There may be other changes in drivers supported in GENERIC. > I can't be >really specific since my knowledge on my old old machine is >limited...

Can you please describe exactly what error you are seeing and when. If it's an old machine, have you tried booting with ACPI disabled? Can you also place dmesg files from verbose boots on both 4.X and 5.X somewhere - that will show what the kernel thinks is different. -- Peter Jeremy _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
