In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I have an install report of a different nature...my machine, an AS200 4/233, refuses to finish booting and dies with a panic. Using the 1/14 SNAP from ftp4.freebsd.org, it loads kernel and MFS root, starts detecting devices, and when it reaches my second ethernet card (this machine has a built-in Tulip, and another in a PCI slot), it dies with a "Possible stack overflow" and this panic: de1: allocated 10baseT port <--this line from my memory Panic: stopped at Debugger..ng+0x24: ldq ra,0(sp) <0xfffffc0000861eb0> db> I could take out the card, but this machine acts as a network gateway and I kind of need two interfaces for that. Other hardware is pretty much standard...Avanti, 233MHz, 32MB. When I saw the "FreeBSD/Alpha booting..." message, I thought, "This is the coolest thing in the world!" Any ideas how to make it work?
