The problem has always been there, but had bben masked by probing the PCI and EISA busses after the ISA bus. Now that PCI and EISA go first, the problem shows up. I don't know exactly what the ep driver is doing to be such a problem, but I plan on looking into it. Are you also using a 2940. -- Justin >Hello! > >The same thing happens on my machine (P90 + 3C509). >The most interesting thing is that if i boot kernel from about 1.5 month >ago, and right after that -current m then system comes up just fine, >otherwise it just hangs after npx0: ..... > >On 08-Jan-96 Neil Bradley wrote: >>>Well, in the long running saga of me attempting to get my FreeBSD >>2.1-stable machine running, I've hit a problem with the ep0 driver.
