It is equipped with 8mb : ram and 160mb hd. Of course, I just had to Install FreeBSD :). Should be enough, but 8MB is going to be tight. : Everything ran beautifully out of the gate. Then I decided to upgrade to : real Ethernet rather than use plip. I purchased a "Network Everywhere" : NP10T as the box stated "NE2000 compatible"and it was listed in the : pccard.conf. OK. I think I may have one of those cards and it works, but I'm not 100% sure. : Inserting the card without pccard_enabled in the rc.conf and booting gave: : : pcic0: <Intel i82365SL-DF> at port 0x3e0 iomem 0xd0000 on isa0 : pcic0: Polling mode : pccard0: <PC Card bus(classic)> on pcic0 : pccard: card inserted, slot 0 : : with happy blinking link+status leds before mounting ad0 and going live. OK. Sounds pomsiing. It would be good to know a) the other IRQs that your machine is using and b) the IRQ that you are using for this. : I then started pccardd from the command line and received: : : reboot in 15 seconds OK. I know it may be a pain, but can you build a kernel with "options DDB" in it and let me know where it dies? : Basically what I have been able to determine is that the pcic : implementation is arguing with something else over irq's and then tries to : grab the ata/ad0 irq which causes a kernel panic, which then also causes : page faults etc,etc, Ah, you can create an /etc/pccard.conf with an irq line in it that tells pccardd which irqs to use. You've given me just enough information that I'm intrigued by your problems, but not enough to actually fix it. :-(. Let's start with a traceback and go from there. You should be able to create a /boot.config with '-h' in it that will allow you to boot over a serial console for easier cut and paste.
