Hi all,

My Freebsd-9.0-RELEASE (GENERIC64 kernel) Powermac G5 won't boot after =
adding a PCI Ethernet Card.

It's the early dual processor at 2GHz with PCI-X =
(http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g5/specs/powermac_g5_2.0_=
dp.html)
The Ethernet card is a brand new the D-link DGE-528T =
(http://www.dlink.fr/cs/Satellite?c=3DProduct_C&childpagename=3DDLinkEuro=
pe-FR%2FDLProductCarouselMultiple&cid=3D1197319325191&p=3D1197318961527&p=
ackedargs=3DProductParentID%3D1197318721588%26category%3DQuickProductFind=
er%26locale%3D1195806373344%26term%3DDGE-528T&pagename=3DDLinkEurope-FR%2=
FDLWrapper)
It's a PCI card.

The card is visible in OpenFirmware device tree.

I can't see much of the error when the kernel loads: the screen keeps =
scrolling. But it seems to be something related to =
/usr/src/sys/kern/subr_rman.c: line 176.

I settled the same card in a FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE (GENERIC) Powermac G4 =
(Digital Audio: =
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g4/specs/powermac_g4_466.h=
tml) without any problem (re(4) driver as a module)

I try to put another PCI card (Adaptec 2940U2 SCSI) in the G5 and got =
the same error.

I try to boot in debug mode but the apple keyboard is inactive in ddb.

I try to boot the 9.1BETA CD but I didn't succeed (LOAD BASE error)

Do you have any clue?

Thanks,

Mathias
