Hi Has anyone any experience with the Jetway Motherboards and FreeBSD? My motherboard is a Jetway 7F4K1G2E-PB has dual gigabit lan (realtek) = detected as re0 and re1. I'm trying to install FreeBSD 6.2 Release, but = as soon as it tries to dhcp on re1, it freezes. I have to power off and = on. I've also tried booting an already installed FreeBSD 6.2 stable, but = this also resulted in a freeze when re1 comes up. It just freezes, no = messages or anything.=20 Somewhere on the net, I saw someone who said that it only happens after = a cold-reset. I've been part able to confirm this, but even after = getting freebsd up and running with both nics up, after a while it just = locks up. I've tried changed from auto-sense to e.g. base1000tx full-duplex, but = that did not resolve the issue either. I'm not entirely sure that the = problem are the nics, but it seems to point in that direction. Windows XP runs fine, so it shouldn't be a hardware error. However = running XP is not the solution to my problems :-) Does anyone know this problem, or perhaps (even better) a solution to = it? Thanks. Br, Thomas
