Message-Id: <199709110034.RAA21643@itchy.serv.net> To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: I/O memory conflict with PCI Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi there. I have an odd memory conflict I'm trying to resolve. We've been running our news server for some time on dual adaptec 2940 (narrow) controllers. Aside from that, we have an NE2000-compatible ethernet on 0x280,5,0xd80000. We had a 2940UW controller that I wanted to dump in as well, but as soon as there are three controllers on the bus, ed0 complains something about 'unable to zero out memory at d80000', or some such. Presumably this is a conflict between ahc2 and ed0. (actually, I'm sure it is, because with 2 controllers the system works, with 3 , ed0 won't work.) I'm not sure how to resolve this. I don't know where the original drivers are for the ethernet card, so it's unlikely that I can go tweaking around with the configuration, and yet it seems impossible to modify where the adaptec's are placing themselves in terms of the shared memory. Am I just going to have to get another ethernet card? Advice please. Sean T. Lamont, President / Chief NetNerd, Abstract Software, Inc.
