The only thing that I can identify as a common factor, is that the PCI slots are on a riser card. One type is an NLX-form factor motherboard. The other is an industrial system with a Single Board Computer (SBC) and a passive backplain. Aside from the riser card, these machines are completely different. (IDE vs. SCSI, no other PCI devices, SCSI pci device, pentium vs pentium-II... onboard video/ethernet(in addition to the intel cards) vs nothing onboard...) However, we have at least one industrial-type system (with a different board/config) that works fine with these cards, though we didn't do the install with one. I'll try that tomorrow and report my findings. I doubt this is the case, but is the fxp driver different on the install floppy than on the post-install kernel / kernel-source? Any suggestions as to what I should look into? Thanks, Jay To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
