when you are compiling kernel you should leave at least the first isa ethernet card ed0 in your kernel...(or any?) if you do not do that freebsd does not assign a driver for your card. but after that if you do not want to see the error message which says that the system could not find ed0 you may boot with -cv parameter and then disable probing for ed0 device... well, if somebody knows why freebsd does not assign a driver to pci ethernet devices if you do not specify any isa ethernet please let me know, I wonder why it happens :) On Mon, 21 Sep 1998, Theo Kuijpers wrote: > Hi there, > > I've got a strange problem : > > I just upgraded from 2.2.6 to 2.2.7 without any problems.
