I had a Compaq visit my lab recently. Unless the aic driver were removed from the kernel (disabling it might have worked too) it would screw up the floppy driver. This sounds like black magic, but the explanation is that the aic driver has a very intrusive probe routine which sticks random bytes into whatever I/O locations it feels like and this appearantly is not liked by certain machines. Compaqs with all their bells and whistles could be particular sensitive to this, so try to disable the aic driver and see if it helps. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
