I originally left out xe on purpose (so I could e.g. recompile it while the machine is running), but even when I include it, the problem remains. It's something else, but I've got no idea what. The really bad thing is that it completely halts the machine until pulling the card. I've been using that very same card in that TP 600E regularly years before, with older FreeBSD versions, without much problems. (There's a generic problem on the TP600 where you have to provide an explicit memory start address beyond regular RAM in loader.conf, e.g. hw.cbb.start_memory=0x20000000.) -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
