If not in a 64 bit PCI slot please try it in that one. What does the PWS manual say about the beep codes? If the card isn't supported by SRM I would expect it to be ignored. Possible that the PCI chip's self test failed. Can you test the card in another machine? You might also want to check if the system has a jumperable system clock divisor. E.g. my PC164 has a changeable crystal for CPU clock and you have to select the clock divisor acordingly. You could have overclocked the PCI bus without even knowing that on such systems. -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de ticso@cicely.de Usergroup info@cosmo-project.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
