However, if it doesn't, consider removing the 'at' lines from your hints file. Warner It doesn't work because he didn't specify all of the hints, so the fd0 "device" that he has in his hints file isn't a perfect match to the fd0 device that comes from the PnP BIOS. If he specifies all the resources like the normal hints file then it should work fine, I think. Though as Mike points out, it doesn't change the fact that the IRQ is already allocated off to something else. -- John Baldwin [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

If you disable a device using /boot/device.hints like so: hint.ppc.0.disabled="1" hint.ppc.1.disabled="1" hint.ppbus.0.disabled="1" hint.ppbus.1.disabled="1" you get this: ppc1: ECP parallel printer port at port 0x378-0x37f,0x778-0x77b irq 7 drq 3 on isa0 That's because the PnP entity is still matched.

You can't disable PnP devices; it just doesn't work that way. 8) You mean it's impossible to disable lpt/floppy in a pnp system and use thier IRQs for anything else unless you remove the drivers from the kernel? Why? Because you can't use their IRQs anyway; the PnP data for devices like that is a statement of fact - IRQ 7 is connected to the super-IO chip and you simply *CANNOT* use it for another device. Also, is there any system in place so that I can tell a device to go away? (one that isn't pccard/cardbus) ? Not at this time, no. Why would you want to, short of reloading the driver? -- ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also.
