   Jamil, this comment is without merit and does absolutely nothing to help
with the problem. Cyclades is quite familiar with the driver in FreeBSD and
has done extensive testing with both the ISA and PCI product under FreeBSD.
They haven't seen any problems in their testing, but of course that doesn't
mean that a problem doesn't exist. The device driver for the PCI version is
the same driver that the ISA card uses, the only difference is that the PCI
front-end memory-maps the registers into the address space at device attach
time. There might be a hardware problem with the PCI interface that is causing
the reboots, but at the moment, there is insufficient information to diagnose
the problem further. I have not been able to reproduce the reboots here. I
suspect that it is going to take a PCI bus analyzer to figure this one out.
