The kernel doesn't detect the memory, and with only 16MB of mem the machine screams. when I have the kernel set to 128MB of mem, the machine runs like a dog. When I take out the 3COM 3c509 ethernet card out the machine screams again. I had a SMC ethernet PCI card laying around, the machine doesn't detect it. Question One: What is a good network PCI card that is fully supported with 2.2.5? Question two: Shouldn't freebsd support and ISA card with large amounts of memory (I have a proliant 800 with 32MB of mem, same ethernet card and it screams, it is running 2.1.6 also). I only need answers to questions 1 Dave dlr@viasoft.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
