RE: Is there a method to not probe certain devices at startup?
yes, but not the usb, I really wish there was. At least your system boots. My Compaq 1600R's freeze when the USB port is probed. Installing FreeBSD means I have to build a custom release that has the USB drivers out of the kernel. rcompile your kernel without the USB driver.

To further elaborate: It's kind of like building a ship in a bottle. There is no shell access to the box. However, files can be uploaded and downloaded and arbitrary commands can be executed via a web interface. Using these mechanisms I have explored the filesystem and can verify /etc/rc.conf does not exist. That is not entirely surprising because the overview documentation for monowall says they have moved as much of the initialization code into PHP as possible. It's a little "weird". -- Dan MacMillan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

It is not possible to disable USB in the BIOS for this board (a VIA EPIA CL1). Also, because it is monowall, there is no rc.conf. I will ask this question on a monowall forum to find out where I should look for this setting.

Check that the pc bios has USB disabled. Also check that rc.conf does not have statement to enable USB. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Danny MacMillan Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2006 1:16 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Is there a method to not probe certain devices at startup? Hi, I have a FreeBSD 4.11 box (monowall, actually) that has apparently had a bit of a crisis with its USB controller hardware. This is completely irrelevant to me as it is a purpose-built box with no need to use USB now or in the future. The only problem is that when the box boots, it hangs for about 5 to 10 minutes trying to talk to the USB device. Here is an excerpt from dmesg (pardon the wrapping): uhci0: port 0xd400-0xd41f irq 11 at device 16.0 on pci0 usb0: on uhci0 usb0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered uhci1: port 0xd800-0xd81f irq 11 at device 16.1 on pci0 usb1: on uhci1 usb1: USB revision 1.0 uhub1: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub1: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered uhci2: port 0xdc00-0xdc1f irq 9 at device 16.2 on pci0 usb2: on uhci2 usb2: USB revision 1.0 uhub2: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub2: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered uhub2: device problem, disabling port 2 Immediately before the last line of output above is where it hangs. I found some oblique references to device.hints on google but I couldn't find anything that describes exactly what needs to go in that file.
