I had compiled pnpbios into the kernel... just, it didn't worked
properly :)

my own problem isn't really about removing XFree, but installing
x.org... i tought it would have been better if i first removed xfree :)

bye!

Joel! You were absolutely right! It was a PnP+BIOS problem!
In my BIOS there was an option with a description such this:
"If your OS isn't PnP capable you should turn this option off to have
your non-bootable devices configured by the BIOS" .. i disabled it
and.. IT WORKS! wow!
i'm very happy i finally put NetBSD at work!
Thanks 1,000 times :)

p.s. last little question... how to remove X11 that had been installed
when i installed netbsd? pkg_delete says he knows nothing about it :D

Bye!!

IFCONFIG

p.s. this interrupt mapping issue is *very* common on my machine:

Jan 2 21:34:56 folgore /netbsd: eap0: couldn't map interrupt
Jan 2 21:34:56 folgore /netbsd: ohci0: couldn't map interrupt
Jan 2 21:34:56 folgore /netbsd: ohci1: couldn't map interrupt
Jan 2 21:34:56 folgore /netbsd: ohci2: couldn't map interrupt
Jan 2 21:34:56 folgore /netbsd: ehci0: couldn't map interrupt

i don't think that tricky solution will work for everything! Sad

ok, prepare yourself... this is what i did after trying for hours
without any result:

1) cd /usr/src/sys/dev/pci

2) study something about pci

3) vi if_vr.c

4) change it:
/*
** Alberto is bypassing this... what will happen??
**
** if (pci_intr_map(pa, &intrhandle)) {
** printf("%s: couldn't map interrupt\n",
** sc->vr_dev.dv_xname);
** return;
** }
*/

/*
** Now, to complete the trick...
*/
intrhandle = pa->pa_intrline;

5) recompile

6) reboot

7) ifconfig vr0 192.168.0.2 ; ifconfig -a
vr0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
address: 00:40:f4:8e:06:8c
media: Ethernet none (none)
inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 255.255.255.255
lo0: flags=8009<UP,LOOPBACK,MULTICAST> mtu 33192
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000

8) route add default 192.168.0.1 ; route show
Routing tables

Internet:
Destination Gateway Flags
0.0.0.0/8 link#1 U
default 192.168.0.1 UG
loopback 127.0.0.1 UGR
localhost 127.0.0.1 UH

9) ping 192.168.0.1
It says... "No route to host"
I say... "Argh!"

ok, now there is only this *little* issue to solve! Any suggestion?

p.s. Happy new year!
p.p.s. Brute force sometimes wins Very Happy

My kernel config says:

mainbus0 at root
pci0 at mainbus0 bus 0
vr0 at pci0 dev 11 function 0

no reference about IRQs.
I have this machine quite far from here... but if you think it would
help i'll change netcard's pci slot and see what dmesg will say,
booting with GENERIC.

Bye!
