He forgot to mention which mainboard/machine he is using. There's a known incompatibility of FreeBSD 2.1.5's EISA code with the HP Netserver's internal AHA2740 (its EISA slot number is too high). FreeBSD 2.1 didn't suffer from this since it simply didn't have any specific controller code for EISA buses at all, but handled everything there as plain ISA. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
