I cannot load the ACPI module in 5.0-current and get a working floppy drive simultaneously. With ACPI loaded the dmesg | grep fdc0 is: fdc0: cmd 3 failed at out byte 1 of 3 fdc0: cmd 3 failed at out byte 1 of 3 fdc0: cannot reserve I/O port range (6 ports) With the ACPI module disabled in /boot/loader.conf, I get: fdc0: <Enhanced floppy controller (i82077, NE72065 or clone)> at port 0x3f7,0x3f0-0x3f5 irq 6 drq 2 on isa0 fdc0: FIFO enabled, 8 bytes threshold fd0: <1440-KB 3.5" drive> on fdc0 drive 0 I have the latest BIOS firmware, and I've been told by my M/B vendor's support organization: "ASRock motherboards are all ACPI complaint" and "All our Produsts are fully support and fully tested with Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP. We won't provide any support to Linux or other OS like FreeBSD." I replied to ask them "why not?", however what can the issue be where they claim compliance on all versions of Windows yet FreeBSD doesn't work? Is this a case where Windows has it's own "standard" that no one else meets, or is FreeBSD support still incomplete? I not sure if this is relevant, but here's a chunk of acpidump output related to the device FDC0: Device(FDC0) { Name(_HID, 0x0007d041) Method(_STA) { If(FDST) { Return(GSTA(LDFD)) } Return(0x0) } Method(_DIS) { DDIS(LDFD) } Method(_CRS) { Return(FCRS) } Method(_PRS) { Return(FPRS) } Method(_SRS, 1) { DENB(LDFD) } } Thanks, Jeff WaltersReceived on Wed Apr 30 2003 - 08:08:09 UTC
