So I'm unsure. > To close out this issue finally (the issue of the ATA code 'hogging' IRQ 15 that my ed0 card needed even though nothing was on the ata1 channel), it appears that recent commits to the ATA code have fixed the probing problem (4.2-BETA as of Saturday Nov. 18). Out of curiosity I compiled a kernel and booted verbose into single user mode to see if things had been fixed. Magically they were. I had changed nothing in the system (including leaving the second IDE channel "enabled" in the BIOS) and now the probe "fails" because nothing is hooked up to the channel, irq15 is no longer snagged and my ed0 interface works. So, this thread can come to a long-anticipated end. Thanks to sos@freebsd.org for fixing things (inadvertently or not :). Ironically I had already bought two PCI NICs to replace these aging NE2000 clones so I didn't really "need them" since the s/w is now Fixed(tm). But at least now I've got 100Mb NICs :) 4.2 looks solid.... -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | John Reynolds WCCG, CCE, Higher Levels of Abstraction | | Intel Corporation MS: CH6-210 Phone: 480-554-9092 pgr: 602-868-6512 | | jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com http://www-aec.ch.intel.com/~jreynold/ | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
