I just purchased Walnut Creek's FreeBSD 2.1 Distribution, and am having some problems with installation. My kernel panics and reboots the system whenever it tries to do anything remotely related to ix0 (My Intel EtherExpress-16 card) It panics on the installation. My system is as follows: Pentium 166, 256k cache, Triton chipset motherboard 32 megs EDO RAM 2 Western Digital Caviar 1.62 Gig EIDE drives Intel EtherExpress 16 6x's EIDE drive Matrox Millenium 4 meg WRAM Adaptec SCSI adaptor with internal Iomega ZIP. (Zip Zoom interface) I'm installing FreeBSD on the second "partition" of my second disk. My 1st drive is solely DOS, and the second is half DOS half FreeBSD. Any help/fixes you can give me for this problem, I'd greatly appreciate. Regards, Geoff Sloan
