Good Evening Folks,

After playing with 5.2C for a while I've descovered a few issues at least=
 on
my system.

The first major one that came up was a problem with bge(4) which didn't =
happen
under 4.9. The card will load, ip's assigned to it. I can transfer =
minimal
data through it fine, ssh sessions and the such.

However when I start to pass through large amounts of data, I start =
seeing:

bge0: watchdog timeout
bge0: watchdog timeout
bge0: watchdog timeout

and the data flow stops through the network card. I then have to reboot =
the
server in order to get it to work again. I can repeat this.

I'm having issues with a Travan tape drive (ewww I know), when it comes =
to
scan for that device on boot it just hangs. It used to always be fussy =
about
sitting on a shared ATA bus, but this is a unique bus. I will attempt to =
get a
verbose boot for this issue.

=46inaly, I've been talking to Roger Hardiman (author of FreeBSD version)
regarding the Quicknet VoIP cards. We both have the same card, he can get=
 his
to attach to the device just fine. However on my computer I get the
following...

ixj0: <Quicknet PhoneJACK PCI (nixj)> port 0,0 at device 7.0 on pci3
ixj0: failed to enable port mapping!
ixj0: No I/O space for DSP?

The bottom line is from the driver, however I assume the middle line is =
from
the kernel. Is there anyway that I can extract more information from the
kernel to why it's failing?

I've seen others having issues with ATAng, however for some reason the =
bge
issue and ixj seem to nag me together. Is it possible there's some issue =
with
interrupt handling that could be causing these issues?

As always if anyone with more clue then me wants to have a first hand =
look I
can arrange that.

Kind regards,

Peter.
