No, I don't know why this is happening. Since I'm the author of both the NetBSD && FreeBSD drivers, I'm real interested. This may be a PCI bridge issue- I can't think of a reason otherwise for the panic. Do you have the PC values that were printed out with the machine check? I have an AlphaPC164 which works just peachy. Say - you're at UC San Francisco? Is there any chance you can loan me the card or I can come over and debug this? It's kind of close to 4.0 *really* being closed off, but it'd be nice if this were fixed. -matt > I have an AlphaPC164 system that I've been trying to run FreeBSD 4.0 > release candidate on.
