Had this problem with 4.7 Release. 4.7 Stable solved this problem. The driver is rock solid too.. processing more than 230 GB a month. Lucio Jankok : -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- : Van: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd- : questions@freebsd.org] Namens David Landgren : Verzonden: woensdag 26 maart 2003 16:15 : Aan: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org : Onderwerp: bge network driver not loaded on a HP (Compaq) Proliant DL380 : G3 : : Hello, : : I am in the process of installing FreeBSD 4.7 on an HP Proliant DL380 : G3. At the moment I am blocked by the fact that the kernel does not : recognise the network card (or rather, does not load the bge driver). : : It is a Broadcom BCM5703X Gigabit Ethernet adapter. (In fact there are : two). : : When I run 'pciconf -lv' it displays the following output : : (not cut&paste) : : none4@pci2:1:0:class=[omitted] : vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation' : device = 'BCM5703X Gigabit Ethernet' : class = network : subclass = ethernet : : and same again more or less for the second adapter at none5. And when I : run ifconfig -a, they are not present. : : The GENERIC kernel doesn't load the driver, and the bge driver is : included. I rebuilt a kernel stripping out all the other network : adapters and still it does not correctly sense the card. How can I force : FreeBSD to recognize the adapters? : : A second problem, less urgent, is that the machine has 5Gb of RAM, and : at boot time the kernel says : : memory above 4Gb ignored : : While configuring the new kernel file I reviewed everything in LINT but : I didn't see anything obvious. Is it possible to get 4.7 to recognize : >4Gb or is this something that can only be done on a more recent : version, e.g., 4.8 or 5.0? : : Thanks for any clues I can use, : David : : : _______________________________________________ : freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list : http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions : To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions- : unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
