I've seen this on a Toshiba Equium 7000S, with onboard fxp0. The first DMA operation in the configuration of the chip never completes. I re- installed 2.2.7 on that machine, since I didn't have time to investigate then. If I ever get done with my "FPX" code at work (maybe this week, if I'm lucky) I'll poke into this fxp problem. ;^) -- Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?
