Hi,

I tried my brand new HP Compaq laptop 6710b under DragonFly, but during 
booting
the installer CD it "throws" a page fault:

This happens with the latest snapshot version as of yesterday and also 
with the
1.10 release.

FreeBSD 7.0-BETA3 silently hangs during boot, while NetBSD 4.0RC_4 works 
like a charm (it can even dual-boot windows natively)!

Any hints?

Regards,

For starters, what does NetBSD report as the hardware and can you capture *any* 
scan, dmesg, or other report from FreeBSD 7-BETA3 or DFLY?

And have you tried DFLY and/or FreeBSD with the various boot options selected - 
or can you not get far enough to do so?
