Hi:
I have been trying to install FreeBSD 4.4 for the past two weeks without
much
success. I have a PC workstation currently running OS/2 and DOS 6.22
under System Commander 7.04. I have over 3 GB of unused/unformatted
space and want
to install FreeBSD as my main OS in this area. Each attempt hangs up
during the device probe.
When I select the Kernel Configuration menu there are 7 conflicts. Six
are
in the Network category and 1 in the Miscellaneous category:
NETWORK:
Device IRQ Port
o cs0 0x300
o ed0 10 0x280
o fe0 0x300
o ie0 10 0x300
o lnc0 10 0x280
o sn0 10 0x300
MISCELLANEOUS:
o PC-card controller pcic0 0x3e0
I disabled all of the ethernet drivers and tried to continue but
the system still hangs during the device probe.
The driver I need is xl0 for my 3COM 3c905B NIC and I assume I can load
that after the install. The card is located in PCI slot 10 IO Base
B000h IRQ 5.
I also noticed that when I disable device ie0, the PC-card controller
device disappears. It does not become inactive, it just disappears. It
also reappears when I enable the ie0 device. For the record, the ie0
device lists the following:
AT&T Starlan 10 and EN100, 3C507, NI5210 Ethernet ada
I'm not even sure why a pc card is appearing in the configuration menu.
Note: My sound card occupies IRQ 10. Also, my BIOS is set to "NO" on
the Plug'nPlay option.
I've read some of the archived mailings but still can't resolve this
issue.
I would greatly appreciate any recommendations?
Bob
