The only trouble that I've experienced was with adding a new video card, an ATI All-In-Wonder VE (Radeon 7500, PCI version). When the card is not installed, and I'm using the integrated RageXL video, all works just great. However, once a new PCI video card is installed, I get NMI errors on boot, with a system hang. I've tried a few different things to try and resolve the issue; removing 'options EISA' from the kernel, and removing 'device agp' from the kernel. I've checked the mainboard for jumpers to fully disable the integrated video; there are none. Thus far, the only way I can get FreeBSD-5.0 to boot without incident was to add, 'hw.pci.enable_io_modes=0' to /boot/device.hints. Once I do that, no more NMI errors. I just hope and pray this option remains with FreeBSD for a long time to come so I can continue to use this ATI AIW card. X with the integrated RageXL sucks. :p - John Wilson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
