New clean install of FreeBSD 6 from CDs on a Dell Inspiron 7500 laptop. I get this error on boot: xl0: watchdog timeout Googling around for that error indicated it might be an issue with a BIOS setting "Plug and Play BIOS: YES" but my BIOS does not seem to have a setting for that (I am using the latest bios for my hardware, A14). PCCARD network card (3CCFE575CT-D, 3Com card made for Dell) is recognized but I cannot even ping the router by IP. The non-D version of the card is listed as supported in http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.4R/hardware-i386.html by "xl(4)" Light on nic indicates that it sees the network. I've tried a different cable, both PCCard slots on the laptop, I've tried plugging the cable directly into the wall instead of through a hub. Nothing seems to matter. Any suggestions on what I should try next? Most of my searches have turned up only really old hits :-/ which isn't surprising since this laptop is 5 years old... Thanks!
