X-BeenThere: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Production branch of FreeBSD source code List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 03 May 2007 08:57:37 -0000 Hello, all! In former times configuring a kernel was a bit more cumbersome, yet more straightforward than is today: device isa device sio0 at isa? port IO_COM1 flags 0x10 irq 4 device sio1 at isa? port IO_COM2 flags 0x0 irq 3 to keep the kernel from messing with the second device completely, you simply removed the second line. Today I have: device pci device miibus device bge I have a particular system that uses what FreeBSD 6.2 detected as bge1 for remote console access over IP. As soon as the interface is probed and activated by the kernel, the connection to the remote management controller breaks. Is there a way to limit the number of probed entities for a certain pci device class to, say, 1 in my case? I'd like to use bge0 for FreeBSD but the kernel should leave everything else that might be a bge interface alone. Thanks, Patrick P.S. If anyone is interested: it's a Fujitsu-Siemens iRMC on an RX100 server. While HP uses a dedicated port for their iLO, FSC decided to piggyback that function onto a regular network port. -- punkt.de GmbH * Vorholzstr. 25 * 76137 Karlsruhe Tel. 0721 9109 0 * Fax 0721 9109 100 info@punkt.de http://www.punkt.de Gf: Jürgen Egeling AG Mannheim 108285
