but I did go and check to make sure, but the problem

Re: 1.4.1. and still can't play dvd movies.


Here's our FAQ with information about using GRUB & PC-BSD. You can skip 
the install portion, and just look at the general config info to set it 
on on the linux side.

http://faqs.pcbsd.org/index.php?action=artikel&cat=16&id=9&artlang=en

Let me know when you get the system back up, and maybe we can figure 
this out for you. If it works fine here, there's probably just a setting 
wrong somewhere.

PC-BSD on HP Compaq 6720s

Hi,

I downloaded PC-BSD 1.4 and had a successful install on an HP Compaw
6720s laptop. Apart from the lack of wide-screen for KDE, i dont seem
to have network functionality at all. I also do not have the wireless
card detected, i dont see it in the dmesg entries nor in the log
files. My network card is present, em0, but cannot connect to the
network.

I have statically assigned the IP addresses on it, but to no avail,
dhclient em0 returns 'No DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in
persistent database - sleeping'. I have ruled out my DHCP server since
all other connections to it are working fine, FreeBSD 6.2 stable works
well without any problems and so does linux (Xandros 3.0.2).

While trying to obtain an IP address, tcpdump reports this:

IP 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from
00:1a:4b:73:d5:98 (oui Unknown), length: 300

Is there something broken in this release, any fixes for it? Any
assistance in getting this working is appreciated.

Regards,

Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in
a million chances happen 99% of the time.

Re: PC-BSD on HP Compaq 6720s


Mike,

Thats strange that em0 wouldn't work on PC-BSD 1.4, but it does work on 
6-STABLE, considering that PC-BSD 1.4 is built on 6-stable, although it 
may be a bit older of a release.

Did you try updating to 1.4.1, or installing the 1.4.1 ISO's? That 
release uses a bit newer codebase with FreeBSD 6.3-PRERELEASE under the 
hood.

As for the wifi card, which model Intel is it using? We'll have to see 
if the iwi driver works with it, or else you may need to use ndisgen to 
roll a new driver for it.

Re: PC-BSD on HP Compaq 6720s

Hi Khris,

Yes, it did seem a bit strange for me since i do know that the em drivers do work on FreeBSD6.0 stable. I downloaded 1.4.1 which i see has FreeBSD 6.3 Prerelease, but it also does not work.

For the wireless card, I tried a work around using drivers for windows xp and ndisgen to convert them, but still no results. The wifi card is an "Intel 3945ABG Wireless LAN Controller".

The ethernet card is an "Intel 82562GT 10/100".

Thanks.

Regards

Re: PC-BSD on HP Compaq 6720s

Hi Kris,

I notice that with the ndisgen drivers i still get pci16: <network> at device 0.0 (no driver attached). I tried using drivers for VISTA but that dumped quite a number of "no match for Ndisxxx"


PS: sorry on the typo of your name in the previous post :-)
