I think the board is bad, to be completely honest. I pulled my desktop board out and installed that, got 8.0 to install OK there, then went to attach the RAID card (an HPT RocketRaid) and boom. It loads the BIOS, loads the RAID BIOS and nothing. I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks for the lead. -- Ryan On Jan 4, 2010, at 7:38 PM, Jason wrote: > I worked with a similar patch for the bce driver, and received the same > issue. > > From what I've seen, the patch would be for the "mii" device for this error. > > After patching mii, the error and issues were resolved. > > On Mon, Jan 04, 2010 at 06:28:36PM -0600, Ryan Coleman thus spake: >> I have a RealTek 816x NIC in my FreeBSD 8.0 box.
