Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Good day, ladies and gentlemen. Problem: On booting I get "rl0 couldn't map interupt", which man rl tells me is a fatal initialization error. device_probe_and_attach returns 6. Background info: The problem is uniquely with FreeBSD 4.1-R on my Athlon 750 box, ASUS A7Pro motherboard. The card works fine in the Win98 half of my dualboot, and an identical card works fine with 4.1-R in my P120. A search of the -questions archive shows a fair number of "couldn't map ports/memory" problems, no "couldn't map interupt", and few concrete answers... man rl won't tell me anything useful, and the NIC is functional. I have tried mucking about with IRQ in the CMOS setup, but I'm no IRQ expert and all I've managed to do is stop the box from booting if I set anything other than IRQ selection. It's entirely possible I'm missing the blindingly obvious answer/solution. I'm not sub'd to the list, so if you have any thoughts I'd appreciate a CC to me, if that's not standard procedure. And yes, I know it's a fabulously cheap NIC, but for my limited needs it should be more than adequate. Thanks in advance. :) -Scot To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
