Re: ACPI and Linksys 10/100 PC Card (ed1)

[Matthew Dillon <dillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

    If the CD boots up ok and installs everything, but rebooting from the
    HD does not work, then it's got to be cockpit trouble somewhere.

    Possibilities include:  The BIOS IDE disk block translation mode,
    setting (or not setting) 'packet mode' in the boot code, and/or the
    kernel getting confused about the root filesystem.

    One thing that might help would be to 'boot -a' (hit '6' from the 
    DragonFly menu to drop into a boot prompt and type 'boot -a').  This
    tells the kernel to ask for the name of the root filesystem rather
    then trying to automount it, to see if the kernel actually gets that
    far.
