For the benefit of anyone else trying to figure this out and looking through the archives I am posting how to fix the problem. When trying to install FreeBSD 5.2.1 on a Toshiba P25-S609 Laptop the install would hang at the following location: cbb0: <ToPIC100 PCI-CardBus Bridge> at device 4.0 on pci2 In verbose mode I would get an extra line with the following: pcib2: device cbb0 requested decoded memory range 0xc2000000-0xc20fffff Following the hint from Norton found here: http://aproductofsociety.org/toshiba_p25.html I found the reference to the hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_ranges=1 in the manual here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-sysctl.html#SYSCTL-READONLY You can activate this on the install by doing the following: 1) Select option number 6 (Escape to loader prompt) at the selection menu for the install. 2) Enter the following at the OK prompt: set hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range=1 then press enter. (You will note there are no quotes around the 1 as shown on Norton's page. For some reason it didn't want to work for me with quotes. Maybe I was using single quotes and they should have been double, I don't know, what I do know is that it works without them.) 3) Type boot and press enter. Magic, you made it past the spot that was driving you crazy :D -Chris _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
