AP#1 on Phy#1 : The reason on my system


Hi,

A long time back, I had reported getting AP#1 on Phy#1 error 
messages and boot failure on my amd64 system. After many tests, I am 
convinced the problem occurs only if a USB mouse is plugged in at 
boot-time.

A few days back, I finally got a USB-to-PS2 converter and hooked my 
mouse into a PS2 port, with USB mouse support disabled in the BIOS. 
I've never had this problem since then. So it's pretty certain that 
the USB mouse was the source of the boot-failures.

Since Windows never had any boot problems with the USB mouse, I 
think this might be an issue for the FreeBSD kernel developers.

If this helps anyone or clears any doubts, I can only be glad.

(NB : I also have a report from a friend of mine using amd64 with 
debian-5.02 that debian has pretty much the same problem. He has 
taken my advice and is now hooking the mouse into the PS/2 port with 
good results).

Thank you&

I don't remember that capability lacking in Firefox 2, but it has been a
little while since I've used it, so I don't really know for sure.

You should be able to close it at least by pressing <Ctrl>+<W> once per
open tab.  That's a keyboard shortcut that closes the current tab, and if
you do that when there's only one tab open, that should close the browser
(but only if you have it configured to close the browser when closing the
last tab).  I think the relevant configuration option in the about:config
window is:

    browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab

I'm pretty sure I was able to close Firefox with a keyboard shortcut back
when I used Firefox 2, but I don't remember how.  I guess you're on your
own, unless someone else here uses Firefox 2 and can help you out.

Does <Alt>+<F4> work for you?  That's probably dependent on your choice
of window manager.

Methinks it be an oblique reference to
a line from Shakespeare's play about the Dane
with no insult intended, then or now.

Re: Not recognizing raid controller Adaptec AIC7901

Thanks for your reply,

I've searched through Adaptec site for drivers but are offered only Linux
(Red Hat , Suse, Novell Netware), Windows, SCO Unix, SCO UnixWare and Sun
Solaris.
Also is available Linux driver source code.

I don't know if they offer FreeBSD driver, maybe I should ask them.
So, if I find the drivers what is the procedure to compile them and load
them to the kernel?

Rgds.

Methinks I've found a literary genius amid this swamp of digital

Perhaps terminfo(5) can help?
