This sounds like simple misconfiguration on your part; you can't share an IRQ between an ISA and PCI device, and with the IRQ that you've configured the Adaptec for, it's not being routed correctly.

This is your problem. Try turning the "PnP OS installed" option off. Interesting that the collection of boards that have this behaviour are just hitting the collection of users that have to ask about it. I'm sure there's something profound to be derived from this. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
