I'm having the same problem now on two different machines; one a P-60, the other a 386sx-40; I doubt the bus speed is too high on the 386, eh? The card in question is an SMC Elite Ultra (8216C triple media). I have two identical cards, tried one in each machine, although not both in both machines...but the symptoms were identical. On the pentium, i decided to fix by switching cards, easy since it's work's machine. The 386 is a personal machine, and harder to swap cards, although still doable i suppose...a borrowed 3com works just peachy keen in the interim. I really sort of doubt that i really have an IRQ conflict here, i don't have anything other than IDE and floppy disk controllers, serial, and parallel ports and the ethernet card in either machine. I will go ahead and try building a new kernel, need to do that anyway so little overhead involved in trying. The business with the kernel message showing up as the card at IRQ 5 when it's really at IRQ 10 is weird, is this some common PC hardware weirdness or just a FreeBSD oddity? thanks for the responses... danno -- dan pritts ITD/LSA Partnership Unix Support dan.pritts@umich.edu I like beer.
