---> providing some more info


I am running FreeBSD 5.0 (far out of date, I know) on a Toshiba Satelite
 1100.

Basically, I am not willing (better: not experienced enough !) to run a system 
at state-of-the-art level.
So I would really like to go with 4.9 (or 4.10)
However: my "Satellite" can't even boot any 4.xx CD / Floppy.

Boot Process stops with a message complaining about PC-Cards and Controller.
(Sorry, no screen-shots available)

Boot messages (4.9, CD2, as far as seen on boot-screen):
...
pci_cfgintr: can't route an interrupt to 2:4 INTA
pcic1: Warning: 02micro OZ6800 chips may not work
...
atapic0: <Intel ICH3 ATA100 controller> port 0x1800-0x180f, 0-0x3, 0-0x7,
0-0x3, 0-0x7 at device 31.1 on pci0

ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0
ata1: at 0x1f0 irq 15 on atapci0
...
pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x8086, dev=2483) at 31.3 irq 10
pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x8086, dev=2483) at 31.5 irq 10
pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x8086, dev=2483) at 31.6 irq 10
==> stops booting here

Running 5.0 works so far (with exception of regular compplains about ACPI) -
but it works!
Only thing that matters: ports and packages are terribly out of date.

Since I am using my Notebook on a regular base, I fear upgrades and
"experiments".

Has anybody a tip for me (besides "buy a new one ..." ;=)


Any hints and help is most appreciated!
