Yes, that's what I'd expect too, now that I know the cause. I wonder how many other people have fallen into the same trap that I fell into? Apparently, a newer version of the vesa driver issues a more meaningful error message when it detects UEFI mode. The current one only reports that the PCI address is out of range. -- -Gary Mills- -refurb- -Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada- _______________________________________________ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
