Those are motherboard resources that another driver has already grabbed (either by being told via a hint, or some other discovery method). PNP0303, for example is the keyboard, PNP0A03 is the PCI bus, etc. http://members.hyperlink.net.au/~chart/download/pnpid.txt has a pretty comprehensive list of PNP IDs and what hardware they correspond to. You can safely ignore those messages, or if you are adventurous, look up the IDs and remove any static hints for those devices. That should let the kernel use the PNP table to find them. Keep an emergency kernel handy (or if you're commenting out hints, print out the file so you can manually enter the hints in the loader), since if you remove the wrong hints, you risk ending up with a system that has no keyboard :) -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
