Hey there. I'm trying to do a fresh install of 5.3, but can't get past this error: ep0: <3Com 3C509-TPO EtherLink III> at port 0x300-0x30f irq10 on isa0 ep0: No irq?! ep0: ep_alloc() failed! (6) panic: resource_list_release: resource entry is not busy Uptime: 1s Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort I had no problem with this model of NIC under 5.1, but I can't seem to get going with 5.3. I've swapped cards, swapped machines, swapped installation methods (floppy-vs-CD), and I always get the same error. Had I the choice, I'd just try a different model card, but that's not an option for me (the machine I'm installing it on doesn't have PCI slots, and I have gobs of these NICs at my disposal). Any idea what happened between 5.1 and 5.3 to break this card? How can I get past this error? Thanks! Paul.
