I'm not pleased to emphasize that BGE makes FreeBSD 7.0/8.0 systems completely unusable on machines with BCM5787 (NetLink BCM5787M Gigabit Ethernet) Install CD hangs as soon as it tries to load driver for Ethernet device (tested on 7-CURRENT (snapshots 200708, 200709, 200710) 7-BETA1.5, 7-BETA2 and 8-CURRENT. After looking through the lists I realized that earlier similar problem connected with BCM5787 detection was exposed and a corresponding PR was opened. I mean (kern/105005) http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=105005 Those PR (kern/105005) was closed later. Nevertheless the root of the problem is remained I suppose. Just an excerpt of reports: 7-current freeze on HP6710b with BroadCom (bge0) - (http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2007-October/077781.html) bge driver causes freeze - (http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2007-September/077347.html) kern/116328: [bge]: Solid hang with bge interface (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/116328) Compaq HP 6710b freezes on 7-CURRENT-SNAP-200708 - (http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2007-September/076856.html) panic in 8-CURRENT / BGE hang - (http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2007-November/079518.html) Sad but true. It is also noticeable that BGE handles BCM5787 in RELENG_6 properly and there is no complains. So I would like to know if there anyone who experiences the same problems with BCM5787 and bge on non-HP machines? And should described problem be considered as a bug with corresponding PR opening? Thanks. -- Sincerely, Andrey.
