I'm getting this weird freeze at boot time related to the 3Com 3c589D card. To release the system, I discovered that if I hit the shortcut key to make the system go to sleep, then press another key to wake it up, the card comes online and the system runs perfectly. The freeze can occur several lines before the login: prompt or at the login: prompt. During the freeze, no keyboard input is echoed to the screen, although after the wakeup, keys pressed during the freeze are acted upon. During the freeze, Ctrl-Alt-Del has no effect and does not appear to reset the machine after a sleep and wakeup. The card is configured using the pcic card services. I was never actually able to get the zp driver to work with this card. The current settings for the card (configured and saved under DOS) are: 300h, IRQ 10, IOMEM ee00h, although it appears pcic is setting the IOMEM to d800h. The machine is an AMSTech TravelPro 2580CTA (366MHz, K6-2, 64MB) which otherwise works great. -Tilghman ----------------------------------------------------------------- Tilghman Lesher Computer Specialist Vanderbilt Bookstore Email: Tilghman.Lesher@Vanderbilt.Edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
