>Organization:
ActiveWeb Internet Solutions, Ltd.
>Environment:
FreeBSD www.somedomain.com 3.1-STABLE  FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE #6: Wed Mar 31 10:56:37 IDT 1999  root@www.somedomain.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/WWW  i386
>Description:
I installed a new system on a P-II 350Mhz system, with AHA-2940 W/UW SCSI adapter. I installed FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE the first time, and then I did a cvsup and upgraded to 3.1-STABLE (3/30/1999), compiled the kernel with no problems, and then rebooted.

In the previous installation of FreeBSD (3.1-RELEASE) the xl driver worked fine, and auto-negotiated the network and installed the driver. After upgrading, the xl driver "sees" the card, identifies it, but when trying to install the driver, reports: "xl: couldn't map port".

I tried changing a #define line in /usr/src/sys/pci/if_xl.c to use memory mapped instead of PIO mode, and recompiled. This time, the driver reported: "xl: couldn't map memory".

>How-To-Repeat:
Like I explain above, install 3.1-RELEASE, use cvsup to upgrade to 3.1-STABLE (for 3/30/1999) and then recompile the kernel. This time, the xl driver will not work.

Hardware includes also an AHA-2940 W/UW SCSI adapter.
