Hello again,

FreeBSD/NetBSD/SCSI/EISA-> "ISA strayintr c"

I had recently posted about having problems with NetBSD rebooting while
using a Bustek 747 on an EISA based system.  Well, I tryed various settings
and nothing has fixed it yet.  The machine will reboot at random, and usually
you don't get far (couple minutes into install).  I switched to FreeBSD to
see if it would help, and now I'm not rebooting, but I am hanging.  The
system will come back with "ISA strayintr 7" and "ISA strayintr c".  I
understand "7" coming up, but "c"?  Anyone ran into this?  The Bustek
is configured for 0x330 and IRQ11.  I assume "c" is IRQ12 (using hex if
I'm looking correctly).  FreeBSD hangs after the "ISA strayintr c" both
times I've  tryed, so we're leaving it in that state while going through
the docs.  Hopefully we'll have another EISA machine to try this Friday
(have to take it from a lab that is using it) to see if the other machine
is any better.  Any/all information about this type of EISA problem is
greatly appreciated!

Take care,

-Rich
