Hmm. A quick look at the diffs show that the old driver had:
! brdp->panels[panelnr++] = panelp;
! brdp->nrpanels++;
! if (ioaddr >= (brdp->ioaddr2 + 0x20))
! break;
while the new one has
! brdp->panels[panelnr++] = panelp;
! if ((brdp->brdtype == BRD_ECH) || (brdp->brdtype == BRD_ECHMC)
){
! if (ioaddr >= (brdp->ioaddr2 + 0x20)) {
! printf("STALLION: too many ports attached "
! "to board %d, remove last module\n",
! brdp->brdnr);
! break;
! }
! }
so AFAICT the only effect of this error message is to document a problem that
was silently ignored in the original driver. If there is a problem with the
new driver I suspect it is somewhere else, but alas I can't offer any clues.
You could try replacing sys/i386/isa/stallion.c with the 1.39.2.1 version. I
_think_ this will not care about the other related changes.
Greg.
