hello, I tried to use the 3com 3c503 ethernet card with a FreeBSD 2.2.5 kernel. The system panics when booted from the kernel installed on the hard drive. Is there some "magic" setting that corrects the crash condition? The system boots fine when the 3c503 card is removed. The system also boots fine when the system is booted with a floppy install disk and the ethernet card id installed. I looked at the irq in the config but the resources look ok. The io is set at 280h, the irq is set at 5 and the memory is set for d8000. The jumpers are set appropriately. I tried the same type card on another system at home. It panics also. The panic occurs when the 3com card is querried. (ed0 or ed1, tried both jumper settings) I also set the card at 300 and the behavior is the same (panic). There is no boot rom installed on the 3c503 card. I wonder if a boot rom must be installed in the card to give it something to read. I also borrowed an etherlinkIII from another system. It doesn't stop the system from booting. Got any ideas? regards Norm Morin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
